Child Poverty Strategy

Baroness Fookes Excerpts

Monday 6th June 2022 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Fookes (Con)]

My Lords, my noble friend has rightly spoken about getting people out of poverty through work, but what steps are the Government taking to help those who are in work but are low-paid and low-skilled to better themselves?

[Baroness Stedman-Scott (Con)]

Another exciting initiative is the in-work progression offer. We have in-work progression champions working with every jobcentre and district to help people to get a job, and then to get a better job which pays more and helps them with their cost of living.
