Response to chancellor's speech at Labour conference

Responding to the Chancellor’s Labour Conference speech today, Chief Executive of Child Poverty Action Group Alison Garnham said:

'Breakfast clubs are a welcome start but meeting Labour’s ambition to end child poverty will need much more from this government. And even with a pledge of no return to the past, austerity is the reality for more and more children as they’re hit by the two-child limit. The policy must be scrapped – and soon – if the Government is to deliver on its mission to reduce child poverty.'
