To propose that the Senedd: 

1. Notes a proposal for a take-up of benefits Bill.

2. Notes that the purpose of the Bill would be to: 

a) ensure that more money ends up in Welsh people’s pockets by increasing take up of Welsh and local authority support payments;

b) place a duty on all public sector organisations to maximise take-up of Welsh and local authority benefits;

c) require public bodies to streamline and make consistent throughout Wales the method of application for such benefits.

Reason considered: Senedd Business;
