PMQs: Blackford and Johnson on payments to help children
Ian Blackford quoted a Trussell Trust report saying 830,000 UK children depend on emergency food parcels.
The SNP's Westminster leader called on the PM to match the "game-changing" child payment scheme introduced by Scotland's SNP government.
Boris Johnson said the UK government was helping families in a "tough time", and had "massively increased" funding for councils, and this showed the "vital strength" of the union.
