Government 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>
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>

We will continue to work across Government to support the most vulnerable.<\/p>"}

The decision to temporarily halt a jobseeker\u2019s benefit payment is always thoroughly considered and is not something we do lightly.<\/p>

It is a consequence of a jobseeker not meeting the conditions attached to receiving their benefits without good reason.<\/p>

Jobseekers are only ever asked to meet reasonable requirements, taking into account their circumstances and capability. The requirements and consequences are clearly communicated with them throughout their claim and set out in their Claimant Commitment.<\/p>

This is already an established part of the process. All claimants are informed of the responsibilities they must fulfil in order to receive benefit, and the consequences of failing to comply. This is done in discussions with work coaches and through the Claimant Commitment.<\/p>
