Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Sarah Green and Victoria Atkins

Tuesday 23rd January 2024 Commons Chamber

[Victoria Atkins]

I thank the hon. Gentleman for bringing some insight into how we can best reach families. Of course, it is not just mums, but fathers or carers who can have a huge impact on our children. That is why the Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, my right hon. Friend the Member for South Northamptonshire (Dame Andrea Leadsom), is investing so much energy and commitment in our family hubs. We believe that they can be the centre for families to make the very best start to a child’s life.

[Sarah Green (Chesham and Amersham) (LD)]
