Contribution

Specialist organisations, including in the violence against women and girls sector, have warned that the Government’s earned settlement proposals will undermine even their own objectives on child poverty, modern slavery, domestic abuse and homelessness. Those organisations are asking for the proposals to be withdrawn. Since the Home Secretary’s statement last week, we are still yet to see an impact assessment. Will the Leader of the House ensure that Parliament is given sufficient time to debate these multifaceted harms and impacts well before the changes are due to take effect?
