MPs, peers and councillors from six parties across the UK have formed a unique new political group to explore the potential of Universal Basic Income (UBI).
AThe CPPLG on UBI – standing for Cross-Party Parliamentary and Local Government Group – is a unique new form of APPG that brings parliamentarians together with councillors, elected mayors and members of the devolved assemblies on an equal footing.
The aim of the group is to co-produce work to collectively advocate for policy positions, UBI pilots and the need to test alternatives to the current welfare system, with a view to influencing the wider debate around UBI and social security in the UK.
This group will improve links between Westminster and elected representatives across the UK and could be transformative in bringing about positive change and improved ways of working between elected representatives across the country.
