Continuing Provision Of Universal Benefits (EDM1718)

Continuing Provision Of Universal Benefits

EDM number 1718 in 1992-93, proposed by Terry Lewis on 30/03/1993.

That this House avers that the provision of universal benefits has contributed immeasurably to the well being of the neediest in society since the establishment of the Welfare State; believes the concept of targeting benefits services only to deny large sections of the community the help they need and deserve; observes that since 1979 targeting has resulted in the incomes of the poorest 10 per cent. of the population falling significantly; and therefore calls upon Her Majesty's Government to re-establish and maintain universal benefits as the principal means of supporting the 12 million people in Britain currently living below the poverty line.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
