My question highlights the rocketing rates of deprivation among lone-parent households, as indicated in the recently published CSO survey of income and living conditions, SILC. The report highlights the fact that 63% of such households are now living without basic necessities. Considering the absence of affordable after-school care facilities, will the Minister abandon her plans from 2 July to lower the cut-off age for the one-parent family payment to seven years?
