Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether the forthcoming Child Poverty Strategy will include targets on child poverty reduction.

This government is committed to tackling child poverty, with our ambitious Child Poverty Strategy due to be published in the autumn.

The publication will set out how we intend to monitor and evaluate the impacts of the strategy from this year and in future years, including understanding how this varies across the UK and for different groups.
