Is Key decision?: Yes
Purpose:
The
Communities, Equality and Local
Government Committee undertook an inquiry into poverty in Wales.
The inquiry was divided into four strands, each focusing on one particular
issue. Each strand was self-contained, with its own terms of reference, but
taken together formed an overarching piece of work.
Strand 1: poverty and
inequality
To
consider:
- how
effectively the Tackling Poverty Action Plan, Strategic Equality Plan and
other government strategies work together;
- the
impacts of poverty, particularly destitution and extreme poverty, on
different groups of people;
- how
legislation, policy and budgets targeted at tackling poverty and reducing
inequality are co-ordinated and prioritised across the Welsh Government.
