In response to the UK Chancellor's Comprehensive Spending Review, Save the Children has issued the following statement.
Dan Paskins, executive director of policy, advocacy and campaigns at Save the Children UK, said:
"The scale of investment in social homes is a gear shift for the UK Government. Alongside expanding free school meals, the Chancellor has demonstrated she is committed to reducing child poverty. We must see this mission to support children in low incomes families continue throughout Parliament. The next step is to scrap the two-child limit and benefits cap – without this, the Chancellor won’t be able to ensure every young person has an equal chance to succeed.”
