Save the Children's report on the cost of raising a family in 2023

That this House commends the recent report by Save the Children entitled Just barely surviving: The cost of raising a family in 2023, which documents how the cost-of-living crisis and increasing inflation combined with the inadequate social security system is plunging families with children into poverty and hardship; highlights the report’s findings that a single parent with one child would on average need to spend an additional £3,100 in 2023-24 to get the same basket of goods and services that they would have bought in 2019-20 and that this rises to almost £5,600 or over £100 per week for a couple with three children; agrees with the report’s recommendations that include implementing a child poverty strategy, abolishing the two child limit, scrapping the benefit cap and ensuring that any future cost-of-living payments vary by family size; and urges the Government to consider the findings and recommendations of the report.
