Senior MPs seek answers on Government’s Child Poverty Taskforce
28 November 2024
The Chairs of two influential House of Commons Committees have jointly written to the Government to get answers on the work of the Child Poverty Taskforce.
The Taskforce, set up to tackle the root causes of child poverty, includes seats at the table for the departments for Work and Pensions, Education, the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, and the Treasury.
The letter presses the Government on Departmental involvement in the body and sketches a number of areas of potential focus for the Taskforce.
