Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he is taking to help tackle food poverty.

We are committed to tackling poverty and ending mass dependence on emergency food parcels.

In the Good Food Cycle, published last July, we made improving access to healthy and affordable food, targeting costs that lead to food price inflation, and supporting those who most need access to healthy affordable nutrition, key priorities for Government.

The Crisis and Resilience Fund will also support people on low incomes and in need of immediate financial support.
