Thanks to Gordon MacDonald MSP (or his researcher?) for alerting me to this.
From End Child Poverty in June 2024, the above table based on 2022/2023 data, and:
Every year the End Child Poverty Coalition, together with the Centre for Research in Social Policy at Loughborough University, publishes data on the number of children living in poverty, in each Westminster Constituency and Local Authority across the UK. This year (June 2024) we have calculated child poverty rates for the old Parliamentary Constiucny, and the Constituencies that will be used in the 2024 General Election.
Note that the Scottish Child Payment, now £26.70 per child per week has only just begun to affect the above figures and ranking. By the end of 2024/2025 it and the end of the 2 child benefit cap will have further reduced child poverty in Scotland and widened the gap with other parts of the UK.
