Child Tax Credit Cuts

As an amendment to motion S5M-05282 in the name of Nicola Sturgeon (Child Tax Credit Cuts), leave out from "supports those" to "Pensions" and insert "further condemns any government that forces women to relive a horrific event in their lives to access social security for a third child; notes the many organisations that have called for a reverse of the two-child cap, including the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, which states that these changes will result in an additional 200,000 children in the UK being pushed into poverty; supports those third sector and healthcare organisations that will not be third party assessors on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions, and condemns the pressure being put on them to carry out a procedure for which many will not be trained".
