    • Reference: 2020/3004
    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 17 September 2020
    Research by the Social Metrics Commission found that across the UK nearly half of Black/African/Caribbean/ Black British households were in poverty compared to just one in five white families.

    • Reference: 2020/3005
    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 17 September 2020
    Research from the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford suggests that no recourse to public funds (NPRF) restrictions falls disproportionately on people of colour. Do you share my concerns that this policy is pushing greater numbers of people into poverty as unemployment rises and how are you lobbying the Government to call for an end to this policy?
