Rollout of written warnings in place of benefit sanctions

Early day motion 384, tabled 21 September 2022 by Chris Stephens (Scottish National Party). Signed by 17 members.

This House notes the growing number of people seeking help from food aid projects across Good Food Scotland, and the wider Feeding Britain network, following a benefit sanction; notes that the UK Government is running a proof of concept to give claimants a Yellow Card written warning, instead of a sanction; and calls on the Government to expedite this process as part of a rapid national rollout of the scheme.
