Help to cut baby formula costs could save parents up to £500, Starmer says

Ministers accept watchdog’s recommendations on how to help people avoid spending more on formula than needed

The government has agreed to implement a plan intended to reduce the cost of buying baby formula, Keir Starmer has said.

The announcement comes ahead of the release of the government’s child poverty strategy later in the week and follows the removal of the two-child limit for benefits in last week’s budget, a move Starmer referred to several times during PMQs on Wednesday.
