Limit benefits/police protection available to former Prime Ministers to 5 years

We urge the Government to require at least 3% of spending of the National Schools Budget for extracurricular activities in secondary schools. We believe this funding could be used to cover costs such as staff overtime or facilities, ensurin

Require food labelled as "gluten-free" on menus to be cross-contamination free

Restaurants can label food as “gluten-free” on menus even if cooked where cross-contamination occurs, making it unsafe for people with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance. We ask the Government to strengthen the law so that gluten-free fo
