takes the issue of food security seriously, which is why we added internationally
used food security questions to the Family Resources Survey in 2019/20. These questions
remain in the survey and will allow us to track food security over time</p><p> </p><p>Building
on the food insecurity data which this Government first published in 2019/20, we have
published official estimates of foodbank use for the first time. These will, alongside
the broad suite of poverty data, help the Government to understand more about the
characteristics of people most in need and help shape future policy considerations.</p><p>
