End Child Poverty welcomes the decision for Ed Balls to remain as Children's Secretary - 5th of Jun, 2009
Welcoming the news that Ed Balls is to remain as Secretary of State at the Department of Children’s Schools and Families (DCSF) Hilary Fisher, Director said
“With 4 million children living in poverty in the UK it is vital that a Secretary of State committed to action on this remains at the DCSF. Ed Balls has long championed the child poverty agenda and we are glad he will have a renewed opportunity to push for more funding for this crucial issue and we are excited to see what he will be doing in the next nine months.”
