Submission History: By Councillor Matt Kerr:- "That this council regrets the cuts in welfare rights funding from the Scottish Government earlier this year and calls upon them to reconsider the criteria used to inform this decision in the light of the continued attack on our citizens and the Social Security system by the UK government's vicious and incompetent welfare reform agenda. Furthermore, we note the disastrous effects of the benefit cap which has driven a spike in the already appallingly high demand for foodbanks in our city this year, and call upon the Scottish government to work with local authorities to find the £11m required to fully-mitigate the benefit cap in Scotland immediately."
