The analogy to the climate change legislation could be to make a statutory commitment to reduce child poverty (for example, to reach by 2020 a
level of child poverty at least 90 % below the 1999 when the commitment to reduce and end child poverty was made) and then to set up an equivalent group to the Low Pay Commission or Monetary Policy Committee to report before each pre-
budget report and
budget as to progress towards this, and to assess and
advise on the range of policy options necessary to get on track.
