Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to meet representatives of the Trussell Trust to discuss the use of foodbanks in areas of full service rollout of Universal Credit.
Officials from the Department for Work and Pensions meet regularly with key stakeholders including the Trussell Trust, where a range of issues are discussed. We are also currently reviewing research carried out by organisations including the Trussell Trust to add to our understanding of food bank use and will consider requirements to add to our evidence base.
