CPAG's response to the child poverty strategy

Responding to government’s child poverty strategy, chief executive of Child Poverty Action Group Alison Garnham said: 

'We wholeheartedly support government’s decision to do the right thing and scrap the two-child limit. Much like the expansion of free school meals, it will improve the lives of children up and down the country. And with record high levels of child poverty in the UK we welcome government’s recognition that publication of the strategy is only the first step. There is much to do and we must now build on this momentum to achieve more tangible change for children.'
