Social Security Reform and Economic Inactivity - Amendment 1
Leave out all after ‘public services’ and insert:
‘expresses regret that the Northern Ireland Executive and the UK Government have failed the most vulnerable in our society through repeated political collapse, block grant underfunding and a failure to transform public services; calls on the UK Government to reconsider the punitive elements of its proposals and ensure fairness and dignity for those requiring welfare support; further calls on the Minister for Communities to work with the Minister of Finance on the development of a mitigation package which protects current and future claimants from reductions in social security entitlements that will arise from the UK Government’s reforms.’
