[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This bill would require the UK government to set a legal target for reducing child poverty and regularly report on whether they're meeting it. It aims to make tackling child poverty a legal requirement rather than just an optional goal, forcing lawmakers to take measurable action to help children in lowincome families.
Presented by Dan Jarvis.
