Make Child Poverty History No1
The Government's child poverty commitments must be identified as a central national proirity in framing the 2007 Comprehensive Spending Review, reaffirming the commitment to halving child poverty by 2010 relative to it's 1999 baseline and eradicating it by 2020. The government should during 2006, conduct a cross-cutting and cross-department Review of Life Chances in the UK, and of the government activity necessary to narrow the gaps in life chances.
Over the next couple of weeks I will be featuring on this blog the recommendations of The Fabian Commission on Life Chances and Child Poverty. Sometimes as a Labour supporter you need need to be reminded what the party is about.
