UK Government Welfare Reforms

  • Date lodged: Thursday, 17 April 2025
  • Motion reference: S6M-17242
  • Current status: Due to be taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 23 April 2025

That the Parliament calls on the UK Labour administration to immediately scrap its damaging social security reforms, as announced in the Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper; highlights the UK Government’s own impact analysis, which shows that 250,000 people, including 50,000 children, will be pushed into poverty under these plans, and notes the Resolution Foundation’s report that lower-income households are set to become £500 a year poorer, following the UK Government’s Spring Statement 2025.
