Ministry for Poverty Prevention Bill [HL]
[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This bill would establish a new Ministry for Poverty Prevention within the UK government with dedicated responsibility for developing and coordinating antipoverty strategies across departments. The ministry would be tasked with setting measurable targets for poverty reduction, conducting research into poverty causes, and ensuring government policies are assessed for their impact on poverty levels. It represents an attempt to create a single governmental focus on poverty prevention rather than having antipoverty work scattered across multiple existing departments.
Presented by Lord Bird.
