Tackling child poverty is an essential investment in the future of our children and our country. That is why we announced the child poverty strategy, including the removal of the two-child limit, which will benefit nearly 70,000 children in Wales. Alongside that, 320,000 families in Wales will see the first...

I welcome the Secretary of State to his place and wish him well in his new job. As he will be aware, the Welsh Affairs Committee has launched an inquiry into child poverty in Wales, which stands stubbornly high at 31%. With a new minority Government elected in Cardiff Bay...

I agree with my hon. Friend that co-operation between the UK and Welsh Governments is essential for addressing child poverty in Wales. The UK Government worked closely with the previous Welsh Labour Government on the design of the child poverty strategy, which will lift 550,000 children out of poverty across...

The Secretary of State is right to recognise the reduction of child poverty in Wales, but of course the Government here took the decision to reduce child poverty not just in Wales but in Scotland, England and Northern Ireland as well. Does he agree that when it comes to recognising...

I absolutely agree with the sentiment of the hon. Member’s question. Let us look at what the Welsh Labour Government delivered: breakfast clubs offering free, healthy breakfasts for children in primary schools; baby bundles; more than 50 million meals served since the introduction of universal primary free school meals; an...

In the past 100 days, we have all witnessed the Plaid Welsh Government in Cardiff Bay having failed to publish costings and properly explain how their flagship childcare policy will work. Perhaps Plaid just wants higher taxes and higher hand-outs, like the welfare party that is Labour sitting across from...

Frankly, I am staggered that the hon. Lady raises the issue of welfare, given the explosion of the welfare bill under the watch of the Conservative party. When it comes to working with the Plaid Cymru Government, I agree that there seem to be a lot of reviews, commissions, reports...

That this House wants to reduce the prevalence of poverty, isolation, health inequalities and community fragmentation across the UK; acknowledges the existence of contributory membership-based food clubs, pantries and hubs run in most cases by volunteers and community groups; notes the recent Food Club Survey Report by eight organisations, which found that such projects lead to greatly increased community cohesion, reduced financial stress, increased self-confidence, improved diet and a reduced risk of people reaching crisis point; further notes the recent Salient Research Trial, which indicated that sustained membership of such projects leads to significant change for people in severe food insecurity, and that bigger gains are made the longer someone attends; commends the work of the thousands of compassionate volunteers who use their own time to bring their communities together in positive ways; recognises that pantries and food clubs are crucial as trusted, accessible spaces where people engage consistently, initially through food but subsequently through strong relationships that build community and improve people’s access to myriad services; suggests that hon. Members of all parties engage with and encourage the food clubs or similar affordable approaches in their own constituencies, and encourages their involvement in councils’ adoption of the Crisis and Resilience Fund; and encourages the Government to heed the finding that food clubs represent one of the most promising place-based approaches to tackling food insecurity and promoting financial resilience, and as such should form a part of a multi-layered strategy to reduce poverty and food bank use across the UK.
