Up to six hours from the start of proceedings on the Business of the House (Today) motion (if that motion is agreed to)
Mrs Kemi Badenoch
Helen Whately
Rebecca Harris
Danny Kruger
Rebecca Smith
That this House believes the two-child benefit cap should remain in place and that households with a third or subsequent child born from 6 April 2017 claiming Universal Credit or Child Tax Credit should not receive additional funding, because those who receive benefits should make the same decisions about having children as those who do not; further believes that lifting the cap would exacerbate a benefits culture which is unfair on the taxpayers who pay for it and unfair on those who become trapped on benefits, because those who can work, should work; and generally supports further changes to reduce welfare spending and ensure that benefits are there only for those who need them.
Amendment (a)
Siân Berry
Ellie Chowns
Carla Denyer
Adrian Ramsay
Leave out from “should” to end and insert “be lifted immediately.”
Amendment (b)
Daisy Cooper
Steve Darling
Leave out from “House” to end and insert “condemns the impact of the two-child limit and the benefit cap, which have driven up child poverty and left 4.5 million children in poverty in the year to April 2024, which means that, across the UK, 31% of children are living in poverty; rejects the Official Opposition’s claim that these policies are about fairness, noting that children do not choose the circumstances into which they are born and that such punitive limits punish children for decisions made by adults; notes that the two-child limit is a leading cause of rising deep poverty among children; further condemns the benefit cap for penalising families with additional needs, especially lone parents and disabled households, and notes that it is applied regardless of assessed need; recognises that removing these unfair and arbitrary limits would lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty; calls on the Government to adopt evidence-led welfare reform, including the removal of the two-child limit and the benefit cap which would be the most cost-effective way of lifting children out of poverty and is supported by groups including Save the Children UK, Child Poverty Action Group, Barnardo’s and The Children’s Society; and calls on the Government to recognise that a fair society does not balance the books on the backs of children.”
Mrs Kemi Badenoch
Sir Mel Stride
Richard Fuller
Rebecca Harris
Gareth Davies
Paul Holmes
James WildGregory Stafford
That this House notes that the Government was elected on the basis of a manifesto commitment not to increase taxes on working people and not to increase National Insurance or the basic, higher, or additional rates of Income Tax, or VAT; accordingly regrets the decision to raise employers’ National Insurance contributions in the Autumn Budget 2024; further regrets the proposed changes to Agricultural Property Relief and the burden on taxpayers from increases in Council Tax, which is forecast to increase at its highest rate in 20 years; calls on the Government to reaffirm the statement made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Autumn Budget 2024 that, from 2028–29, personal tax thresholds will be uprated in line with inflation once again; regrets that the Government plans to bring those whose only income is the State Pension into paying Income Tax this Parliament; and urges the Government not to introduce new taxes on the value of assets owned such as savings, homes and pensions, which would drive wealth creators away from the UK.
Amendment (a)
Adrian Ramsay
Carla Denyer
Ellie Chowns
Siân Berry
Leave out from “VAT” to end and insert “and calls on the Government to tax wealth fairly, including equalising Capital Gains Tax with Income Tax, and introducing an annual wealth tax of at least 1% on assets over £10 million.”
Amendment (b)
Daisy Cooper
Sarah Olney
At end insert “regrets that the Government has needed to raise taxes to deal with the impact of the previous Conservative administration, which left the NHS in crisis, social care underfunded, and essential infrastructure such as schools and hospitals in disrepair; urges the Government to look at fairer ways of raising revenue for public services and defence, including increasing the Digital Services Tax and Remote Gaming Duty and reversing the previous Government’s tax cuts on the profits of the big banks; and calls on the Government to avoid future tax increases by adopting policies which would foster growth and benefit everyone in the UK, such as negotiating a new UK-EU customs deal, fundamentally reforming business rates, and properly investing in education and skills, including reform of apprenticeships.”
