Synopsis: |
The Commitee welcomes the Child Poverty Bill, intended to enshrine in law the Government's commitment to eradicate child poverty by 2020, as a human rights enhancing measure, but also recommends some amendments. It proposes: that the Secretary of State should be placed under a duty to implement the child poverty strategy; inclusion in the Bill of a target which would apply to children not living in qualifying households (eg Gypsy and Roma children); greater precision in the duties to consult children about the preparation of child poverty strategies. |
