Alex Cunningham MP,
Shadow Work and Pensions Minister, commented on the Government’s plan to fund
relationship support for unemployed families, said:
“Stronger
relationships can help families to escape poverty, but the support announced
today is a tiny response to funding the work that needs to be done to tackle
rising inequality, child and pensioner poverty figures.
“All
the evidence suggests that income is a central factor in poverty and
inequality.
“Relationship
support will not replace the social security support stripped from struggling
families under seven years of failed Tory austerity.”
