Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities for an update on the steps being taken to introduce a Universal Basic Income.

Answer:

I am committed to delivering long-term, sustainable solutions to poverty in all its forms for our communities right across Northern Ireland.

I am aware that Universal Basic Income has been raised by stakeholders during the Anti-Poverty Strategy co-design process. I am currently considering the next steps to be taken in relation to the Strategy and final content will be subject to Executive agreement.
