Therese Coffey says it’s not government’s job to help out food banks

HAYSIE

The environment secretary has said it's not the government's job to provide free food to people during the cost of living crisis.

Therese Coffey, appearing in front of the Commons environment, food and rural affairs committee, said it wasn't the government's role to top up food banks after they received fewer donations.

Instead, she said she was "a strong believer in helping people get into work" so they could support themselves.

It comes as soaring energy bills and food prices continue to hit families across the UK.
