Until 7.00pm (Standing Order No. 9(3))
Proposed subject for debate: Tackling short-term and long-term cost of living increases
That an Humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, as follows:
Most Gracious Sovereign,
We, Your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled, beg leave to offer our humble thanks to Your Majesty for the Gracious Speech which was addressed to both Houses of Parliament.

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech did not deliver the urgent transformative action required in response to the climate and nature emergencies, and if the UK is to do its fair share to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C; note with alarm the UN warning that governments plan to produce over twice the amount of fossil fuels in 2030 than is consistent with the 1.5°C target; further note that one million plant and animal species face extinction and that access to nature is profoundly unequal and that only 8 per cent of land in England is open access; and therefore call on the Government to bring forward a Climate and Ecology Bill to provide an evidence-based statutory framework to meet international climate and nature responsibilities, to enact a Green New Deal to restructure and decarbonise the economy, restore nature and launch a building retrofit revolution, to end any new coal, oil, or gas licences and abolish the duty to Maximise Economic Recovery, to support the international Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and the principle of a just transition, and extend the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 to include rivers, woods, more grassland and Green Belt.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech does not contain measures to properly address the crisis of food poverty and the rising cost of living; acknowledge the profound and devastating consequences of food poverty on the health, wellbeing and livelihoods of people in our communities; assert that the Government’s duty to ensure nobody in our communities goes hungry should be reflected in legislation; and call on the Government to bring forward legislative proposals to enshrine the right to food in UK law.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech does not contain measures to properly tax the wealth of the very richest in this country and, noting that there are high levels of public support for a wealth tax, call on the Government to establish a wealth tax commission to examine the best ways of raising taxes from the very wealthiest and to bring forward a bill that fulfils this aim.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to include measures to address the cost of living crisis; note that energy bills rose by almost £700 in April and are projected to rise by £830 in October; note that inflation is running at 7 per cent and is expected to exceed 10 per cent in the autumn; and therefore call on the Government to revert to the lower pre-April energy price cap and promise no new energy price hike in October, raise the minimum wage to a real living wage, with a path to £15-an-hour, introduce a real-terms public sector pay increase, real-terms rise in pensions and social security payments, restore and extend the £20-a-week Universal Credit uplift to all benefits, enshrine the right to food in law to end food poverty, introduce rent controls and a plan to build at least 100,000 council homes a year, strengthen workers’ rights with a ban on fire-and-rehire and repeal all anti-union laws, bring rail, mail, energy and water into public ownership, raise taxes on the richest 5 per cent of earners and large corporations, introduce a windfall tax on oil and gas companies and end the non-domiciled residents tax status.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to provide any legislative solutions to the cost of living crisis and the fact that 7.3 million people are in food insecurity; note that the Bank of England projects inflation of 10 per cent by the end of 2022 at a time when real wages have been falling and energy bills have already risen by £700 with utility companies predicting further rises of £1,000 this autumn; call on the Government to legislate for a right to food in order to address the devastating consequences of food poverty on the nation’s health and well-being; recognise the Government’s own figures estimate that 900,000 individuals, many of whom have disabilities, will become worse off as the result of the transition from legacy benefits to Universal Credit; and call on the Government to restore the £20 uplift to Universal Credit that it decided not to continue and protect the income of those adversely affected.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to provide any legislative solutions to the energy crisis, the climate crisis, or the housing crisis and the plight of residents trapped in accommodation with fire safety defects; urge the Government to step in to ensure urgent remediation at no cost to the residents who have been the victims of negligence by developers and construction companies; note the spiralling cost of home heating and the risk that energy inefficient homes continue to pose to the UK’s ability to meet its contribution to the 1.5°C Paris target; call for a windfall tax on oil and gas companies’ excess profits to pay for an immediate rollout of retrofitting energy efficiency measures to all homes in the UK and a reduction in the cost of utility bills; further note the high numbers of families on local authority housing waiting lists, the high level of no-fault evictions and a rise in street homelessness of 38 per cent since 2010 with a net loss of over 22,000 social homes across England; and urge the Government to build 100,000 new genuinely affordable homes a year to net zero standards on brownfield sites.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to introduce the employment bill as had been promised or to provide any legislative solutions to the lack of security in employment; recall the disgraceful treatment of workers by P&O Ferries and the failure of Government to protect workers in many large companies from unfair treatment; and therefore call on the Government to legislate to end the use of fire and rehire as a tactic to reduce workers’ wages and terms and conditions, to strengthen employment rights and to introduce sectoral collective bargaining and a minimum wage of £15 an hour.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to provide any legislative solutions to the backlog in the NHS; recall that the British Medical Association states that a record 6.1 million people who have been referred to a consultant are still awaiting treatment, two million of them over the 18 week maximum waiting time for non-urgent referrals and 300,000 already waiting over a year; and therefore call on the Government to expand the places available to train secondary care staff and to remedy the underfunding that had led to the waiting lists burgeoning to 4.43 million even before the covid-19 outbreak began.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to provide any legislative solutions to the serious imbalance in wealth and power entrenched in our society which stems from the appreciation in the value of land and which allows fewer than 6,000 people to own 60 per cent of all the land in the UK; urge the Government to commit to an open and transparent Land Registry without search fees, to reform of the Land Compensation Act 1961, so that councils are able to buy land at closer to existing use value thereby making the building of social housing much more affordable, and to improving regulation in the social and private rental sectors; recognise that it is by taxing labour rather than wealth that Government currently raises the largest part, 60 per cent, of its revenue; and therefore call on the Government to legislate for what Milton Friedman described as the least bad tax and begin to impose a land value tax on landholdings above 1,000 acres, initially to replace business rates and ultimately in order to tax wealth and unearned income so as to reduce the taxation of productive work through income tax and VAT.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech does not tackle the pressing issues facing communities up and down the country, fails to implement a windfall tax on oil and gas super profits and to introduce measures that would protect rural areas, such as preventing water companies from pumping sewage into rivers, waterways, and oceans; and further regret that the provisions of the Gracious Speech fail to protect households from the rising cost of heating oil, which is not capped, and to protect farmers who are being undercut by new trade deals, neglect to tackle recruitment in agriculture and fail to uphold animal welfare and environmental standards, do nothing to stop the proliferation of second homes and holiday cottages in rural communities, which results in a shortage of affordable homes, or to tackle the chronic shortage of dentists and GPs which results in patients facing long waits for essential treatment, and fail to address the growing waiting times for ambulances in rural areas and do nothing to reverse the closures of critical ambulance stations where these closures worsen ambulance waiting times.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to support unpaid carers despite a Bill having been prepared, fails to tackle issues in SEND education provision and does nothing to ensure pupils affected by the pandemic get extra support to catch up missed education, is not sufficiently ambitious in tackling the cost of living crisis and should include provision for an emergency tax cut cutting the top rate of VAT from 20 per cent to 17.5 per cent; further regret that the Gracious Speech fails to tackle violence against women and girls, nor does it tackle fraud and scams, does nothing to provide safe and legal routes to sanctuary for refugees fleeing war and persecution, does nothing to tackle the chronic shortage of dentists and GPs which results in long waiting times for patients requiring essential treatment, ignores the growing waiting times for ambulances, does not reverse the misguided cut to the armed forces of up to 10,000 troops, and fails to restore with immediate effect the 0.7 per cent target of GNI for international development spending.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech does not contain measures to deal with the crisis in adult literacy; note that the National Literacy Trust estimates that there are more than 7 million adults in England who have very poor literacy skills; recognise that people who struggle to read and write can face great hardship in life, for example through experiencing difficulty in undertaking a wide range of practical activities such as securing housing, dealing with utility companies, managing financial affairs and finding well paid employment; further note that they may be more vulnerable to exploitation by scammers and less able to access support and that their opportunity to express themselves and reach their full potential can be seriously curtailed; believe that it is in the interest of the UK economy to address this crisis; and call on the Government to bring forward legislative proposals requiring the Secretary of State for Education to, every two years, review levels of adult literacy in England, publish the findings of those reviews and set out a strategy to improve levels of adult literacy in England.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech does not contain measures to ensure that the new NHS payment scheme, provided for in the Health and Care Act 2022, will not lead to an erosion of the scope of Agenda for Change; note that NHS England will be required to consult with each relevant provider, including private providers, before publishing the NHS payment scheme; are concerned that this will be a mechanism by which the Government will give private health companies the opportunity to undercut the NHS and that this may lead to an increase in the amount of healthcare that is currently provided by the NHS being delivered by the private sector; are further concerned about the impact of this on NHS staff who could potentially find themselves forced out of jobs that are currently on Agenda for Change rates of pay, pensions and other terms and conditions, with only private sector jobs with potentially lesser pay and conditions available for them to apply for if they wish to continue working in the health service; and call on the Government to bring forward legislation to ensure that the pay rates of Agenda for Change, pensions, and other terms and conditions of all eligible NHS staff are not undermined as a result of the NHS payment scheme.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to include measures to address skyrocketing child poverty, which is the main determinant of inequalities in educational attainment and a key barrier to effective education; note that the equivalent of nine children in every class of 30 are living in poverty; further note that the number of households with children not on Free School Meals who are now worried their children will have to go without lunch some days has quadrupled in the last two years; and that nearly four million children are now living in poverty, with a record-breaking two-thirds of these living in working families; and therefore call on the Government to raise the minimum wage to £15 per hour, reinstate and extend the £20 uplift to Universal Credit to all benefits, expand the Free School Meal scheme to include every child up to the age of 16 from a household in receipt of Universal Credit or equivalent benefits, eradicate holiday hunger by extending Free School Meal provision during all school holidays, ease the cost of living crisis by implementing universal free school meals for all primary children as in Wales, increase school funding to at least levels seen in 2009, and increase funding for early intervention and prevention initiatives.’
