answer text <p>I meet regularly with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions where we discuss a wide range of issues. The DEFRA report: <em>‘Household Food Security in the UK: A Review of Food Aid’</em> showed that the food aid landscape is diverse and difficult to document with a number of independent initiatives. I would be happy to meet the honourable Member to discuss these issues, including how the UK and Scottish Governments can work in partnership to respond to them.</p><p>The All-Party Parliamentary Inquiry into food poverty and hunger also came to a similar conclusion. Their report can be read here:</p><p><a href="https://feedingbritain.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/food-poverty-feeding-britain-final-2.pdf" target="_blank">https://feedingbritain.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/food-poverty-feeding-britain-final-2.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>I meet regularly with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and we discuss a wide range of issues including welfare provision. The reasons behind foodbank use are complex and can be affected by issues that are already the responsibility of the Scottish Government in areas such as education, health and social care, housing and justice.</p><p> </p> more like this
