Christian Conservative MP David Burrowes raised concerns in April that the government is not focussing enough on supporting marriage in its efforts to tackle UK poverty.
Writing in an article for the blog Conservative Home, Mr Burrowes claimed that the government’s new ‘Improving Lives: Helping Workless Families’ policy paper is more meaningful than Brexit ‘for the lives lost to worklessness, addiction, family breakdown, debt and homelessness’.
He said that the government’s poverty-fighting strategy is a simple and powerful ‘restating of the case for ensuring that work is the best route out of poverty’.
