As part of the Scottish Government’s stated priority of reducing child poverty, the 2021-22 Programme for Government committed the Scottish Government to beginning work on a Minimum Income Guarantee by the end of the parliament. An independent Expert Group was convened in 2021 to inform and design a Minimum Income Guarantee.
