Scottish Government start work on basic income guarantee in bid to eradicate poverty
Work by the Scottish Government to establish a universal basic income will get underway on Tuesday in a bid to ‘eradicate poverty’.
Scots have been asked for their views on the plan, which would see everyone guaranteed a minimum basic income regardless of their employment.
The government’s social justice secretary, Shona Robison, who represents Dundee City East, will co-chair the first meeting to drive forward the plan.
