That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty, as follows:

At end add ‘while welcoming the commitment to provide stability and restore public service in Government, respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech did not deliver an urgent transformative programme to tackle multiple challenges including the climate and nature emergencies, rebuilding crumbling public services, the crisis in social housing, and inequality; believe the Government’s positive plan for GB Energy will be undermined by oil and gas extraction from Rosebank; call for a clear plan for meeting legally binding 2030 nature targets and ending river and sea pollution; also call for water utilities to be brought back into public ownership; welcome the scrapping of the Rwanda scheme; further call for new safe and legal routes for refugees; call for an end to arms sales where there is a serious risk of use in breach of international law; urge the Government to fund councils to buy and build new energy-efficient council housing stock; also call for new powers for local authorities to control rents; further call for more investment in health and social care, NHS dentistry, schools, local government, and active and sustainable transport; also urge the Government to introduce legislation to create a fair electoral system and protect the NHS from privatisation; and call on the Government to scrap the two-child benefit limit immediately.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech does not contain measures to properly address child poverty by failing to reverse the two-child benefit limit; note that the limit results in affected families not receiving £3,455 a year in Universal Credit for any third or subsequent child born after 5 April 2017 and that it has been estimated that by the end of this Parliament another 670,000 children will be affected if the limit is not lifted; recognise that half of affected families are headed by a single parent; further recognise that relative and absolute poverty has risen for poorer families with three or more children since the limit was introduced, which particularly affects Bangladeshi and Pakistani families; acknowledge that ending the two-child limit would remove an estimated half a million children from relative poverty and that, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies, doing so is a relatively inexpensive option equivalent to just 3 per cent of the working-age benefit budget, or approximately the same as continuing to freeze fuel duty for this Parliament; and call on the Government to bring forward proposals to end the limit as soon as possible to show its intent to end child poverty in the UK.’

At end add ‘and submit that this House must work to uphold international law in Israel and Palestine; express horror at the deaths of more than 38,000 people in Gaza and 1,200 in Israel; note the widespread recognition of serious violations of international law in the conflict and the ruling from the International Court of Justice that Israel’s assault is plausibly in breach of the Genocide Convention; also note that United Nations experts have said that arms exports to Israel must stop, that countries such as Spain, Canada and the Netherlands have suspended arms exports, and that 56 per cent of the UK public support an arms sales ban; further note ongoing British arms exports to Israel; recall that previous governments, including those headed by Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, suspended arms exports to Israel; and therefore call on the Government to support an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and release of all hostages, to immediately recognise the state of Palestine, to restore funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, to drop the challenge to the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction in Gaza, and to immediately suspend export licences for arms transfers to Israel.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to include immediate measures to abolish the two-child limit to Universal Credit; recognise that this policy is pushing children into poverty; further recognise that 1.6 million children are currently impacted and maintaining this policy will result in 670,000 additional children suffering poverty by the end of this Parliament; believe that eradicating child poverty must be a primary priority for the newly-elected Government; and therefore call on the Government, as a vital first step in tackling child poverty, to immediately abolish the two-child limit.’

At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to include measures to reform Wales’s fiscal framework; call for the replacement of the Barnett Formula with a needs-based formula to account for factors such as Wales’s poverty levels, levels of ill health and the percentage of children and retired people in the population; also call for the introduction of multi-year funding settlements for the Welsh Government in order to move away from the ad-hoc funding of public services and towards a framework which provides consistent, transparent, and fair funding for Wales; further call for a reformed fiscal framework to ensure that Wales receives full consequential funding from HS2 and other English infrastructure projects by mandating that Wales’s funding comparability factor for these and future projects is set at 100 per cent; call for an increase to the Welsh budget by £700 million to restore it to the level set during the 2021 spending review; and further call on the Government to outline how it will fulfil its manifesto promise of not returning to austerity given that its current spending plans could lead to real term cuts of £683 million in day-to-day spending in Wales and a five per cent cut in the Welsh Government’s capital budget by 2029.’

Add at end ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech does not include measures to remove the two-child cap on benefits; note that it is widely considered by economists and civil society organisations that removing the two-child cap on benefits would be the single most cost effective and impactful policy to immediately alleviate child poverty levels in this country; and call on the Government to abolish the two-child cap on benefits, which would immediately lift 300,000 children out of relative poverty.’
