Child poverty is set to rise "for many years to come" after an "almost certain reverse" in progress to wipe it out, the Government's adviser on social mobility has said.

Former Labour health secretary Alan Milburn urged ministers to "come clean and make clear" that the Government will not meet its goal of eradicating it by 2020.
