During Oral Questions in the House of Lords today, Lord Farmer called on the Government to prioritise strengthening families through policy. To do so, a properly resourced, Cabinet-Level Minister for Families, supported by funding and civil servants needed to take the lead.

The idea of a Cabinet Level Minister for Families is one championed and supported by Peers and MPs who are part of the 'Strengthening Families' Coalition, which CARE supports.
