CPAG response to Spring Statement

Responding to today’s Spring Statement, chief executive of Child Poverty Action Group Alison Garnham said: 

Stealth social security cuts bring neither stability nor security to struggling families and will push child poverty even higher. Growth and better living standards are not achieved by taking money from families with the least. Government must invest in social security support - not cut it - for the most vulnerable, or risk being remembered as the Labour administration under whose watch child poverty continued to rise.
