THE public overwhelmingly supports moves to make it a legal must for the government to consider future generations in its policy-making, a new report has found. 

A survey of 1,000 adults found that more than two in three wanted the government to do more to plan and prepare for long-term threats.

Lord John Bird, founder of the Big Issue magazine, said the polling backed his Wellbeing of Future Generations Bill, which is going through Parliament.
