Findings of the report by 'The End Child Poverty Coalition' show that as many as 43.7% of children in capital are living in poverty in some areas. Of the 20 local authorities with the highest levels of child poverty, 11 are in London. The coalition members have called upon the government to end the freeze on children's benefits and to reverse the sharp cuts under Universal Credit Scheme. What is the Mayor doing to tackle this issue?
