Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the proposed green paper on Social Justice will give consideration to the enactment of section 1 of the Equality Act 2010.
This question was answered on 21st December 2016
The Prime Minister is clear that tackling poverty and disadvantage, and delivering real social reform, is a priority for this Government.
The Department for Work and Pensions is leading work across Government to bring forward a social justice green paper in the New Year. This will identify and address the root causes of poverty, building upon the two statutory indicators set out in the Welfare Reform and Work Act 2016.
