Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to support the Government’s cross-departmental commitment to prioritising a public health approach in the forthcoming Spending Review, and whether that support will include allocating funding for evidence-based parenting support.

Decisions on public spending will be made in the round as part of the Spending Review process. As such, we will be working closely with other departments to assess public health priorities and ensure a joined-up approach across government.
