We know relative poverty among families with three or more children has continued to increase. I welcome announcement of a new ministerial taskforce to explore how they can use all available levers across government, recognising the wide-ranging causes of child poverty.

I am keen to work closely with the new UK Government on our shared ambition of tackling poverty, this will include discussing the role of the benefit system at the DWP and Welsh Government Interministerial Group.  Our own ambitious Child Poverty Strategy for Wales published earlier this year will be informing our discussions at a Wales and UK level.
