Conclusion
Care-leavers are a vulnerable group and there is a strong case for arguing that they should have enhanced support. While the Welsh Government supports a basic income pilot for this group, we note that the UK government opposes universal basic income.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government stated that the DWP and HMRC have provided technical advice to the Welsh Government regarding the interaction of Universal Credit and taxation with the proposed basic income pilot for care-leavers, but did not address the committee's broader point about enhanced support for this group from the UK government.
