Motion Amendment (Private Members' Motion): Social Security Reform and Economic Inactivity - Amendment 2

Leave out all after ‘money for government,’ and insert: ‘including tackling fraud and abuse in the welfare system, targeting global corporations who evade tax, and exploring a potential sales tax for online marketplaces; acknowledges calls for tax increases for the super-wealthy but believes any such policy must be fair, deliverable and avoid a detrimental impact on savings or investment; calls on the UK Government to reconsider the punitive elements of its proposals and ensure fairness and dignity for those requiring welfare support, as well as the taxpayer; and further calls on the Minister for Communities to work with the UK Government on the establishment of a UK-wide commission to develop holistic, cross-departmental proposals for addressing economic inactivity among those with long-term illnesses and disabilities.’

The motion has not been assessed yet.
