Context
A recent report by Welsh charity Chwarae Teg highlights that a significant number of women in Wales on universal credit are in work compared to men.
What steps is the Government taking to ensure strong action in the Budget to tackle women's in-work poverty?
Welsh opportunities for women is an issue close to my heart. Universal credit offers 85% of childcare costs, and the flexible support fund helps women into work. I urge all women to take advantage of these benefits.
