Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how they plan to involve children and young people in any initiatives to tackle the root causes of poverty.

The Prime Minister is clear that tackling poverty and disadvantage, and delivering real social reform, is a priority for this Government. We intend to bring forward a social justice green paper in the New Year. As is customary with the development of any green paper, we are engaging in discussions with a range of organisations and individual experts.
