The Government's Welfare Benefits Up-Rating Bill is back in Parliament.
The legislation would see things like child benefit see a capped one per cent increase every year. Campaigners say that will leave families out of pocket as food and energy bills go up by much more. Liam Allmark is the Public Affairs Officer for the Catholic charity Caritas Social Action Network.
He told Premier's News Hour he's hopeful an amendment put forward in the House of Lords will be accepted:
Your gift today ensures that Premier Christian News can press forward in strength, reaching more people with biblical truth and shaping the future of Christian thought. It’s more than just a donation—it’s an investment in renewed minds and transformed lives.
Without continued support, the ability to create and distribute resources that strengthen faith and equip the church will be compromised. But with your help, we can grow deeper, stand firmer, and shine brighter in the culture.
Your support today is critical.
