Social security, poverty and dignity

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 12 November 2026

That this House notes that by the end of the last Parliament, the previous Government presided over deep rooted hardship caused by cruel and counterproductive policies from 2010; further notes that 7 out of 10 children living in poverty have at least one parent in paid work and that 350,000 children were lifted out of poverty when the two-child limit was belatedly removed; believes in a social security system based on the principles of fairness, dignity and respect for people in need of help not one based on arbitrary spending cuts based on inaccurate tropes that demonise people on benefits; calls on the Government to reject calls by the Official Opposition to cut benefits whilst overlooking ingrained housing and income inequality; further calls for the Government to unfreeze local housing allowance and to institute rent controls to help avoid the risk of homelessness and the devastating impact this has on those directly affected and on local councils struggling to fund temporary accommodation; further believes that child poverty is a political choice; and also calls for the Government to abolish the overall benefit cap which traps families in deep poverty.

That this House recognises the enormous debt owed to those who serve, or have served, in the British Armed Forces, and the sacrifices they have made to keep the country safe; notes that the transition from military to civilian life remains inadequately supported; is concerned that both the previous Government and current Government have failed to deliver the recognition and support that service personnel and veterans deserve; further recognises the impact that this has on recruitment and retention to the Armed Forces; calls on the Government to work with national sporting bodies including the Football Association, the Rugby Football Union, the England and Wales Cricket Board, and others to deliver a Salute to Service programme honouring service personnel and veterans through fixtures throughout the year; further calls on the Government to introduce a Military Homes Standard for the estimated 80,000 troops living in Single Living Accommodation, providing legal protections equivalent to those in the civilian rental sector; also calls for the introduction of a free Veterans Railcard for a period of five years for those who have left the Armed Forces within the past year; urges the Government to disregard military compensation payments under the War Pension and the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme as income for benefit assessment purposes; and calls for the introduction of a statutory employment preference for veterans entering the civilian workforce to protect and strengthen their existing priority in job hunting.
