Mr Waugh spoke to The Bolton News during a visit to Queen's Park on Wednesday (August 5). The newly appointed Under-Secretary of State for Education was asked by The Bolton News what more could be done to support families across the borough. Mr Waugh said the scheme shows how Government funding can work alongside councils and community organisations to deliver support for families. During his visit to Queen's Park, Mr Waugh highlighted the importance of schemes such as HAF. Asked why some Bolton families may not have the same opportunities as those elsewhere, Mr Waugh said tackling inequality was a priority.
