<p>This Government is committed to a sustainable solution to poverty in all its forms.
This means a strong economy and a benefit system that supports employment and higher
pay. Compared to 2010, there are over 3.6 million more people in work, 1 million fewer
workless households and 667,000 fewer children in workless households.</p><p>Whilst
we have always said that there are many reasons people use Food Banks, we have responded
quickly to concerns about the early roll out of Universal Credit and made numerous
improvements to ensure people get the money they need as soon as possible. New questions
have been added to the Family Resources Survey to develop a food insecurity measure
from 2021 to help better understand the drivers of food insecurity and identify which
groups are most at risk.</p>
