answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2020 answer text <p>Our recent focus has been on supporting people financially during these unprecedented times. We have injected more than £9 billion into the welfare system in response to Covid-19, increasing Universal Credit and Working Tax Credit by up to £1,040 for this financial year. Our overall ambition is unchanged. We plan to tackle child poverty through our welfare system which works with the labour market to encourage parents to move into, and progress in work, wherever possible.</p><p>Our approach is based on clear evidence that work, particularly where it is full-time, substantially reduces the risks of poverty. The most recent data showed that there was only a 3% chance of children being in absolute poverty (before housing costs) if both parents worked full-time, compared with 47% where one or more parents in a couple was in part-time work. To support economic recovery, the Chancellor recently announced a £30 billion Plan for Jobs to protect, support and create jobs.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 30/09/2020 16:51:52 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
