Part of Women and Equalities – in the House of Commons at on 28 January 2026.
Bridget Phillipson
The Secretary of State for Education, Minister for Women and Equalities
Tackling child poverty is a moral mission for this Government, and someone’s background should not determine what they go on to achieve in life. I am proud that we have now published our historic child poverty strategy, which will deliver the largest reduction in child poverty within a single Parliament by scrapping the two-child limit, expanding free school meals and backing families.
