Introduction

Welfare reform response to CLG select committee (Adobe Acrobat Document 44kb)

We are working in coalition with a number of other representative organisations to exchange views and share work-load as the Welfare Reform Bill passes through Parliament. We have written a range of briefings to inform MPs as they scrutinise the Bill in the House of Commons, and have started to engage with Peers for discussion in the House of  Lords. The proposed localisation of Council Tax Benefit and proposed abolition of elements of the discretionary Social Fund are two of the issues of common concern amongst these organisations.
