<p>The Government does not collect official data on the use of food banks, therefore
has not made such assessments.</p><p>We have worked with food insecurity experts,
the Office for National Statistics and the Scottish Government to introduce a new
set of food security questions in the Family Resources Survey starting from April
2019. This means that we will in future be able to monitor the prevalence and severity
of household food insecurity across the UK and for specific groups, to better understand
the drivers of food insecurity and identify which groups are most at risk.</p>
