House of Lords

Speaker 2
My Lords, I have it in command from His Majesty the King to deliver to your Lordships a message signed with his own hand.

Speaker 4
My Lords, the message is as follows. His Majesty, being desirous that the provision made by Parliament for the financial support of the Royal Household should be considered, asks the Lords Spiritual and Temporal to concur in the adoption of such measures as the House of Commons may propose as suitable. My Lords, I have to notify the House in accordance with the Royal Assent Act 1967 that His Majesty the King has signified his Royal Assent to the following Acts: Supply and Appropriation (Main Estimates) Act, Taxation (Energy and Vehicles) Act, Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Act, Cheltenham Borough Council (Markets) Act. First oral question, Baroness Lister of Burtersett.
03:18 - 03:23
Speaker 1
I beg leave to ask the question standing in my name on the order paper.
03:23 - 03:51
Speaker 3
My Lords, social security provides a safety net to support families when they need it most. This is why we have removed the two-child limit, lifting 450,000 children out of poverty, and delivered the first ever sustained rise in the standard allowance of Universal Credit. While important, our ambition on child poverty goes beyond social security. We are taking substantive action on the drivers of poverty by cutting the cost of essentials and making work pay.
