Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to introduce legally binding, time-constrained targets to eliminate child poverty as part of the Child Poverty Strategy.

The Child Poverty Taskforce continues its urgent work to publish the Child Poverty Strategy in Spring. It will explore all available levers to drive forward short and long-term actions across government to deliver an enduring reduction in child poverty in this parliament as part of a 10-year strategy for lasting change. The taskforce is exploring a range of metrics and will make decisions alongside the publication of the strategy in Spring 2025.
