Watch my question about lifting children out of poverty

This week, the Education Select Committee and the Work & Pensions Select Committee held a joint session on childhood poverty.

To the expert witnesses, I asked a simple question: how would the lives of disadvantaged children be different if every government department was mandated to look at their policy and decision-making through the lens of lifting them out of poverty?

You can hear their responses below. Thank you to Nicola Killean, Rocio Cifuentes, and Alex Tenant for providing such comprehensive and thought-provoking answers.
