CPAG response to delay to child poverty strategy

In response to news that the UK government's child poverty strategy is delayed until autumn, Alison Garnham, the chief executive of Child Poverty Action Group, said:

“There are 4.5 million children already in poverty and another 109 are pulled into poverty every day by the two-child limit alone. If this government is serious in its commitment to the nation’s children, it can’t keep waiting for the stars to align before taking action. It must urgently invest in children and their families, starting with scrapping the two-child limit.”
