Labour — Houghton and Sunderland South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 December 2025

Debate

Child Poverty Strategy

Contribution

It is an investment in our children, their futures and our society and economy. The strategy addresses some of the big challenges that we see, and sets out the important ways that we will tackle the structural and root causes of why so many children in our country are growing up in poverty, whether that is skills, access to work or childcare, all of which we, as a Government, will take action on to support families.
