<p>This Government is committed to helping families into work, as the best route out
of poverty. We are also supporting over 1 million children with free school meals,
investing up to £26 million in school breakfast clubs, providing approximately 2.3
million children aged 4-6 with a portion of fresh fruit or vegetables each day at
school, and, through the Healthy Start Programme, hundreds of thousands of low income
families benefit from vouchers which can be redeemed against fruit, vegetables, milk
and infant formula. In 2019/20, the government will be spending more than £95 billion
a year on working-age benefits. The new set of food insecurity questions introduced
into the existing Family Resources Survey from April will build a better understanding
of household food needs, to help ensure we’re targeting support to those most in need.</p>
