We have to respond evasively to the previous poster's question by saying (something along the lines of) "That's a very good question, but an even better question is this [ ..... ]."
And despite the constant use of this politicians' interview-question-dodge and stick-to-their-own-talking-points device ~ I think, but we shall see ~ an exchange of perspectives, insinuations, red herrings, opinions and priorities ~ about any topic under the sun ~ should, nevertheless, somehow come to pass.

How do you square your professed support for the plight of single mothers living in poverty with your announcement yesterday of cuts in subsidies and benefits payable to low income mothers bringing up children on their own?
savings in benefits will enable us to chase fathers for
Parental Support and therefore single mothers will be better off.

Originally posted by wolfgang59Well of course that is an excellent question but, surely, a far more important question is: are you willing to invest government money in answering it, and in so doing tracking down those missing fathers?

Originally posted by FMFOf course fathers should be expected to take responsibility for their children. We need to target our payments to those who are truly in need of funds from the public purse. Taxpayers have a right to know that their money is ensuring a better future for children. To that effect we will reduce costs of compliance with child support legislation.

Why isn't the media want to talk about that?
