3 | Make Healthy and Sustainable Food Affordable SDIL VAT Benefits | Nourish the Nation Policies | Extending the soft drinks levy to juice-based and milk-based drinks that are high in added sugar. Set a target of ending deep poverty within a decade, and establish an independent commission to recommend further annual increases in Universal Credit to ensure that support covers life’s essentials, such as food and bills. | Maintain the NLW each year at 2/3 of median earnings. On current forecasts, that would mean it rising to around £13ph. Reform our disability benefits…improve PIP assessments to provide a more objective consideration of peoples needs and stop the number of claims from rising unsustainably...it is not clear that [people with mental health conditions] face the same additional living costs as people with physical disabilities. Tighten up how the capability assessments work. Overhaul the fit note process that people are not being signed off sick as a default. Introduce tougher sanctions rules so people who refuse to take up suitable jobs after 12 months on benefits can have their cases closed. | Everyone to have sufficient income to make healthy sustainable food choices. An increase in the minimum wage to £15 an hour, no matter your age, with the costs to small businesses offset by reducing their National Insurance payments. Increase Universal Credit and legacy benefits by £40 a week. Restore the value of disability benefits, with an immediate uplift of 5%. Ensure that pensions are always uprated in line with inflation and keep pace with wage rises across the economy. Increase carer’s allowance by at least 10% a month. | Labour is committed to reviewing Universal Credit so that it makes work pay and tackles poverty. We want to end mass dependence on emergency food parcels, which is a moral scar on our society. We want to end mass dependence on emergency food parcels, which is a moral scar on our society. | Legislate for an essentials guarantee ensuring that everyone can afford basic necessities like food and utilities. | By linking core benefits with inflation, this maintains current amounts without further penalising recipients, and stopping future governments from using benefits as a political football. Plaid Cymru support an Essentials Guarantee level to ensure that all individuals and families receive at least the minimum required for their daily life. The costs of this have been calculated by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation as being £120 for an individual each week and £200 for a couple. By making this a legal minimum in Universal Credit, the standard allowance would be set so that any deductions do not take income below this threshold. Plaid Cymru believes that there should be a Welsh Benefits System, with a particularly strong case to devolve those benefits which are most closely aligned to existing devolved policy areas, such as health and housing benefits. Wales could also control the administration of benefits which would remain reserved, such as Universal Credit, and the powers to create new benefits, such as a Welsh Child Payment, similar to that which is already in place in Scotland to provide further targeted support to families in poverty. | |||||||||||||||||||
4 | Additional Policies | Strengthen the Groceries Code Adjudicator to protect consumers from unfair price rises and support producers. Reducing the wait for the first payment of Universal Credit from five weeks to five days. Scrapping the bedroom tax Replacing the sanctions regime with an incentive-based scheme to help young people into work Ending the young parent penalty for under-25s by restoring the full rate of Universal Credit for all parents regardless of age. | Take another 2p off NI | Repeal of current anti-union legislation and its replacement with a positive Charter of Workers’ Rights, with the right to strike at its heart along with a legal obligation for all employers to recognise trade unions. Equal employment rights for all workers from their first day of employment, including those working in the ‘gig economy’ and on zero-hours contracts. Gig employers that repeatedly break employment, data protection or tax law will be denied licences to operate. A move to a four-day working week. Abolish the two-child benefit cap, lifting 250,000 children out of poverty. End the ‘bedroom tax’. In the long term, introduce a universal basic income to give everybody the security to start a business, study, train and live their life in dignity. Supporting every higher education student, with the restoration of grants and the end of tuition fees. | Labour will develop an ambitious strategy to reduce child poverty. We will work with the voluntary sector, faith organisations, trade unions, business, devolved and local government, and communities to bring about change. Labour’s Plan to Make Work Pay: Delivering a New Deal for Working People’ in full – introducing legislation within 100 days. We will consult fully with businesses, workers, and civil society on how to put our plans into practice before legislation is passed. This will include banning exploitative zero hours contracts; ending fire and rehire; and introducing basic rights from day one to parental leave, sick pay, and protection from unfair dismissal. We will strengthen the collective voice of workers, including through their trade unions, and create a Single Enforcement Body to ensure employment rights are upheld. These changes will improve the lives of working people across the entire UK. We will reduce food prices by removing barriers to businesses trading. Labour will develop an ambitious strategy to reduce child poverty. We will work with the voluntary sector, faith organisations, trade unions, business, devolved and local government, and communities to bring about change. Enact the socio-economic duty in the Equality Act 2010. | Stop supermarket price fixing. Grant powers to the CMA to ensure fair pricing. Make Work Pay. Lifting the income tax start point to £20,000 per year means an extra £1,500 per year. This would be a key incentive for those on benefits to find work. All Job seekers and those fit to work must find employment within 4 months or accept a job after 2 offers. Otherwise benefits are withdrawn. All frontline NHS and social care staff to pay zero basic rate tax for 3 years. This will help retain existing staff and attract back many who have recently left. We want the best staff with patients, not in offices behind desks or retired. | Scrap the two child benefit cap and associated rape clause which has driven thousands of families into poverty and forced women to relive the trauma of rape in order to claim the support they, and their children, need to live. Unlike Labour and the Tories, we stand firmly against this abhorrent policy and will continue to call for its abolition. End the young parent penalty in Universal Credit which sees under-25s receiving considerably less. Scrap the cruel bedroom tax which punishes people claiming Universal Credit or housing benefit if they have a spare room in their rented council or housing association home. Scrap proposed punitive welfare reforms for sick and disabled people which will take support away from some of the most vulnerable people in our communities, and halt DWP repayment demands on Carer’s Allowance. Protect pensions by maintaining the triple lock and move to deliver a wellbeing pension. We will oppose any acceleration of planned changes or further increases in the state pension age. Maximise Pension Credit uptake by following Scotland’s lead and introducing a comprehensive benefit take-up strategy for all benefits. Devolve Housing Benefit and Local Housing Allowance which will allow the Scottish Government to take an innovative approach to tackle child poverty, expand the delivery of social housing and to help fund and encourage investment in house building. | We will scrap the Conservative policy of the ‘two-child’ limit on universal credit payments, one of the key drivers of child poverty, and end the benefit cap which stops families from claiming the full amount. | |||||||||||||||||||
5 | Stop the Junk Food Cycle Improving advertising Support local authorities | Nourish the Nation Policies | Protecting children from exposure to junk food by supporting local authorities to restrict outdoor advertising and restricting TV advertising to post-watershed. | We will continue to tackle childhood and adult obesity and will legislate to restrict the advertising of products high in fat, salt and sugar. | We face a childhood obesity crisis. So, Labour is committed to banning advertising junk food to children along with the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to under-16s. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | Additional Policies | We will gather new evidence on the impact of ultraprocessed food to support people to make healthier choices. We will change planning laws to support places to bring back local market days and regenerate defunct shopping centres. | "Ultra-processed food is exacerbating poor health and is linked to an increased risk of 32 health problems including cancer, obesity and diabetes." Reducing cases through investment in public health measures, such as interventions on food, alcohol and tobacco. | We will embed a greater focus on prevention throughout the entire healthcare system and supporting services. From the Men’s UEFA European Football Championship to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup to the Invictus Games, Labour will deliver international events with pride and seek new opportunities where we can, creating a legacy to inspire the next generation of talent while promoting exercise and healthy living. | Plaid Cymru believes that we should move public health towards becoming a wellness service that is geared towards keeping people healthy. A preventative public health strategy which rebalances resources to prevent people becoming ill would help the NHS overall by stopping patients entering the system earlier than necessary. Health inequalities are an important part of this agenda, including those determined by class, race and gender. A review of the financing model for Wales should better consider the determinants of healthcare to meet our needs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Invest in Children's Diets FSM HS F&V Scheme | Nourish the Nation Policies | Extend free school meals to all children in poverty, with an ambition to extend them to all primary school children when the public finances allow. | Free school meals have been extended to more groups of children than under any other government over the past half a century. We will build on this progress in the next Parliament by protecting day-to-day schools spending in real terms per pupil. | All children to have a daily free school meal, made from nutritious ingredients and based on local and organic or sustainable produce and free breakfast clubs for children to Year 6. | Maximise Pension Credit uptake by following Scotland’s lead and introducing a comprehensive benefit take-up strategy for all benefits. | No child should be hungry at school. It is only because of Plaid Cymru that all primary school children in Wales receive free school meals. We will continue to campaign for universal free schools meals to be extended to secondary school learners, in years 7 to 11, ensuring all children attending school receive a nutritious meal every day. Many people are entitled to benefits which they never claim, either because they are unaware of their eligibility or are not properly supported to claim by the system. A recently published report estimated this at £23bn per year across the UK. We will review the provision of non-universal or automatic benefits to understand which can be made easier to access through auto-enrolment or through informational campaigns, as well as assisting advice organisations and local authorities to better promote these benefits to people who may be eligible. | ||||||||||||||||||||
8 | Additional Policies | Tackle child poverty by removing the two-child limit and the benefit cap. Incorporate the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into UK law. | Schools to involve children in growing, preparing and cooking food, as part of the core curriculum, so that they recognise and understand how to use basic fresh produce. Fully restore the role of the school nurse, ensuring that all schools have access to an on-site medical professional. | We will take initial steps to confront poverty by introducing free breakfast clubs in every primary school… | Strengthen children’s rights by demanding the UK Government follows Scotland’s approach and incorporates the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into law, to take a maximalist approach to the protection of children’s rights. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | Make it Easier to Eat Sustainably Procurement Hort Eatwell Guide | Nourish the Nation Policies | Using public procurement policy to support the consumption of food produced to high standards of environmental and social sustainability, and which is nutritious, healthy and locally and seasonally sourced. | Improve public sector procurement to deliver our goal that at least 50% of food expenditure is spent on food produced locally or to higher environmental prdocution standards. | Encourage a move to mixed farming along with a reduction in meat and dairy production and implement new horticulture support for fruit and vegetable production. Increasing domestic food production and expanding local horticulture. Incentivising growing a much greater variety of plant food types to protect sourcing and enhanced nutrition. | Labour recognises that food security is national security. That is why we will champion British farming whilst protecting the environment. We will set a target for half of all food purchased across the public sector to be locally produced or certified to higher environmental standards. | Change planning laws to support farm shops with zero business rates. Increase the farming budget to £3 billion. Focus on smaller farms. Keep farmland in use. Bring young people into farming. Boost rural economy and culture. Increase innovation and diversification. Help farmers to farm, not pay them to leave or retire. Scrap climate-related farming subsidies. Productive land must be farmed, not used for solar farms or rewilding. Replace current subsidies with direct payments. Stop Natural England from taking action that damages farmers. Help farmers sell their produce directly to the public. Buy British. Buy quality. Little more than half the food we consume is UK produced. Target 70% to ensure food security. Taxpayer funded organisations should source 75% of their food from the UK. Clear labelling for consumer choice. Boost smaller food processors and abattoirs through tax breaks and other incentives. This cuts transport costs and promotes animal welfare. Farmers must have access to new technology to boost production and cut costs. UK food security also depends on fertiliser supply and production. Encourage young people into farming. Offer subsidised courses at Agricultural Colleges and apprenticeships to help young people learn farming ‘craft’ and business management. "Buy British. Buy Quality. Target 70% to ensure food security." | ||||||||||||||||||||
10 | Additional Policies | Maintain high health, environmental and animal welfare standards in food production and guarantee that all future trade deals will meet them too, ensuring that Britain’s farmers and food manufacturers are not put at an unfair disadvantage. Introducing a range of other ‘public money for public goods’ programmes, such as nature recovery, planting trees and protecting wildlife, contingent on farmers and land managers opting into an Environmental Land Management scheme. | Increase the UK-wide farming budget by £1 billion over the Parliament, ensuring it rises by inflation in every year. Farmers will be able tos pend every pextra penny on grants to boost domestic food production. We will support solar in the right places, not on our best agricultural land. We have changed the planning rules to protect the best agricultural land with a presumption that this is used for food production, while also making it easer for solar to be located on brownfield sites and on rooftops. Stick to our plan to support the agricultural sector with the labour it needs to mantain our food security, while moving away from the relianse on seasonal migrant labour with a five-year visa tapered scheme, alongside clear investment in automation and promoting agri-food careers and skills. | A food partnership in every area, and for a Local Food Enterprise Fund to be set up Financial support for farmers to be almost tripled to support their transition to nature-friendly farming. Biodiversity and soil health to be conserved and improved, leading to cleaner rivers. Farm payments to be linked to reduced use of pesticides and other agro-chemicals. "To enhance the role of local authorities, elected Greens will push for local decisions about planning to be informed by a land use planning policy framework that seeks to balance various needs, such as to meet the challenge of the climate emergency, protect nature, grow enough food, and provide homes and energy" Better educate the population about food and health and build links between farms, schools and the wider community. Rebalancing the power dynamic between big food manufactures and local alternatives such as local food networks, community-supported agriculture and other co-operatives. Reducing the vulnerability of the small-scale farming suppliers relative to the oligopolies in retail and food manufacture, by regulating for fairness in negotiation and new legally binding codes of practice. Putting farmers, including smaller and family farms, back in the room so they are part of developing new farming policy, including a new Fairer Farming Charter. Offer sustainable employment, decent livelihoods, career opportunities, good working conditions and ongoing training to those involved in growing food. Elected Greens will push for an end to factory farming, enforce maximum stocking densities and prohibit the routine use of antibiotics in farm animals. Greens will campaign for a complete ban on cages and close confinement, and on the deliberate mutilation of farm animals. | We will introduce a land-use framework and make environment land management schemes work for farmers and nature. And we will work with farmers and scientists on measures to eradicate Bovine TB, protecting livelihoods, so that we can end the ineffective badger cull. | Rejoining the EU would deliver:… ● Cheaper and quicker trading for business ● More funding for farming, fishing and other rural sectors Provide sustainable funding for farming. Despite numerous requests, Scotland has had no commitment from Westminster on any future funding for farming after 2025. The UK Government must increase funding for farming – to at least pre-Brexit levels - and provide certainty through multi-annual funding frameworks | We will ensure that food labelling accurately reflects country of origin, allowing consumers to choose food that is ‘Welsh’ and not just ‘British’ so that they can make an informed choice. There is an extractive element to food production in Wales. Too often our primary produce is exported to be processed elsewhere, meaning we lose the added value that should be retained in our local economies. Plaid Cymru will continue to promote opportunities to develop local processing capacity and use procurement policy to shorten supply chains, cut food miles and create local jobs. We will give Wales a veto over future trade deals that undermine Welsh agricultural communities. We have opposed Labour’s Sustainable Farming Scheme proposal for 10% tree cover on all farms demanding a more flexible approach. We have also called for a reduction in the universal actions required to enter the scheme, as well as move away from the ‘costs incurred/income foregone’ funding model which doesn’t provide sufficient incentive for farmers to join the scheme, to one which recognises the social value the agricultural sector makes to the Welsh language, culture and the local economy. | ||||||||||||||||||||
11 | Unleash the full potential of the food system Food Bill FDTP R&D | Nourish the Nation Policies | Establishing a ‘Health Creation Unit’ in the Cabinet Office to lead work across government to improve the nation’s health and tackle health inequalities. Require all large companies listed on UK stock exchanges to set targets consistent with achieving the net zero goal. Introducing a Research and Innovation FUnd to support new and emerging technologies in the sector inlucidng the develpment of alternative proteins in which the UK can become a world leader. | Use our significant investment in R&D to prioritise cutting-edge technology in areas such as fertiliser and vertical farming. Introduce a legally binding target to enhance our food security. The target will apply UK-wide alongside our UK Food Security Index, the first of its kind, helping us to determine where best to concentrate farming funds. | A cross-governmental approach to health. There are a range of interventions across this Manifesto that support healthier lives, from improved food labelling, free school meals, active travel and local government investment in sport. | Labour will scrap short funding cycles for key R&D institutions in favour of ten-year budgets that allow meaningful partnerships with industry to keep the UK at the forefront of global innovation. | |||||||||||||||||||||
12 | Additional Policies | Introduce a holistic and comprehensive National Food Strategy to ensure food security, tackle rising food prices, end food poverty and improve health and nutrition. Increasing the Public Health Grant, with a proportion of the extra funding set aside for those experiencing the worst health inequalities to co-produce plans for their communities. Exploring additional funding options to ensure an intelligent transition to better farming practices. Give consumers confidence in the food they eat by: o Providing local authorities with greater powers and resources to inspect and monitor food production. o Ensuring all imported food meets UK standards for health and welfare, and that goods are properly checked. o Introducing robust and clear-to-understand food labelling. Renegotiating the Australia and New Zealand trade agreements in line with our objectives for health, environmental and animal welfare standards, withdrawing from them if that cannot be achieved. | Publish and implement a Major Conditins Strategy to prevent [cancer, heart disease, musculoskeletal disorders, mental ill-health, dementia and respitaroy disease] from occurring and ensure those wliving witht hem receive the best possible care. We will replicate the £100 million UK Seafood Fund to continue to support the sector to thrive. The fund could be used to invest in harbour and fish market upgrades, provide newequipment and technology for fish processing or to support our growing aquaculture sector. | Tackling the unfairness in the system through revitalising the abandoned National Food Strategy. Strengthening the powers of the Grocery Standards Adjudicator and the Food Standards Agency. Restoring public health budgets to 2015/16 levels with an immediate annual increase of £1.5bn. Smoking cessation, drug and alcohol treatment and sexual health services all need to be properly funded. Introduce a new Rights of Nature Act, giving rights to nature itself. Policies that ensure that good quality surplus food is not wasted. | ...Labour will work to improve the UK’s trade and investment relationship with the EU, by tearing down unnecessary barriers to trade. We will seek to negotiate a veterinary agreement to prevent unnecessary border checks and help tackle the cost of food... We will publish a trade strategy and use every lever available to get UK business the access it needs to international markets. This will promote the highest standards when it comes to food production | Establish a Four Nations Climate Response Group to agree climate plans across the UK that deliver on our net-zero targets and ensure the UK Government stops backtracking on climate ambition. | Plaid Cymru believes that we should move public health towards becoming a wellness service that is geared towards keeping people healthy. A preventative public health strategy which rebalances resources to prevent people becoming ill would help the NHS overall by stopping patients entering the system earlier than necessary. Health inequalities are an important part of this agenda, including those determined by class, race and gender. A review of the financing model for Wales should better consider the determinants of healthcare to meet our needs. We would introduce a Business, Human Rights and Environment Bill. This would mandate that private companies conduct due diligence in their supply chains to prevent human rights abuses and environmental harms. The mechanism for enforcement would be modelled on the ‘duty to prevent’, as seen in the Bribery Act 2010. | ||||||||||||||||||||
13 | Food Wording | The UK’s food system is failing to serve the interests of citizens, whether they are farmers or consumers. | Free school meals have been extended to more groups of children than under any other government over the past half a century. | Our food system is failing us all. Poor diets are estimated to cost our NHS £6.5bn a year yet successive governments have failed to take on the unhealthy food lobby. Meanwhile, the way we produce our food is damaging our natural world and our climate. Our food system accounts for a third of all greenhouse gas emissions and is the greatest driver of nature loss and pollution in our rivers. | Labour will fund free breakfast clubs in every primary school, accessible to all children. Our breakfast clubs will support parents through the cost-ofliving crisis | Austerity has caused cuts to public spending, Brexit has wiped billions of pounds from our economy compared with EU membership and made the cost of living crisis worse by pushing up food prices and other household costs. The UK economy has delivered stagnant wages and, for typical households, low living standards compared with similar countries. | In the 2021 Senedd election in Wales, Plaid Cymru’s number one policy was the introduction of Free School Meals for all young people in primary schools, so that they can be assured of having a healthy and nutritious meal whilst learning. | ||||||||||||||||||||
14 | Too many families simply can’t afford enough healthy, nutritious food. Ultra-processed foods, high in saturated fat, sugar and salt, are usually much cheaper than healthier foods – contributing to serious health problems, especially among poorer households. | A future, where national, border, energy and food security are put first, not taken for granted, and immigration is never allowed to run out of control. | Green MPs will work with farmers and other stakeholders to transform our food and farming system, so we are producing healthy, nutritious food at fair prices for consumers and with fair wages for growers. We will also aim to increase the amount of food grown and traded in the UK, and as locally as possible. | Breakfast clubs improve behaviour, attendance, and learning. Labour will fund free breakfast clubs in every primary school, accessible to all children. Our breakfast clubs will support parents through the cost-of-living crisis. | So why not Scotland? We have the resources, industries and talent to match that success. We have extraordinary energy resources, a world-class food and drink industry, brilliant tourism, financial services and creative industries and we are leading in cutting edge sectors such as satellite building. | Plaid Cymru believes that shareholders should not be profiting from people’s ill health, and that profits from private agencies would lead to a better service if it was instead re-invested into healthcare. | |||||||||||||||||||||
15 | Farmers are key allies in tackling climate change and the nature crisis, caring for and restoring the countryside while producing high-quality food for our tables | Our food and farming sectors generate over £120 billion for the UK economy every year. In the last Parliament, we maintained the farming budget to support our food security | Our country is one of the richest in the world, yet millions of people are struggling to put food on the table and pay their bills. | So right at the core of our mission will be a bold new ambition to raise the healthiest generation of children in our history. | Brexit has wiped billions of pounds from the Scottish economy, pushed up prices on food and services and hit hard our ability to fund vital public services such as the NHS. | Under the Conservative UK Government, social security benefits have frequently failed to rise in line with increased prices. This has led to a situation in which nearly three-quarters of people in the UK experiencing destitution are in receipt of social security. | |||||||||||||||||||||
16 | Climate change is an existential threat. Soaring temperatures leading to wildfires, floods, droughts and rising sea levels are affecting millions of people directly, and billions more through falling food production and rising prices. Urgent action is needed – in the UK and around the world – to achieve net zero and avert catastrophe. | A combination of austerity, poor choices in response to the Covid pandemic and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis has left too many people reliant on foodbanks and going hungry | Prevention will always be better, and cheaper, than a cure. So, we must take preventative public health measures to tackle the biggest killers and support people to live longer, healthier lives. | Within our devolved powers, we are delivering 14 benefits – 7 of them brand new and only available in Scotland. Our game changing Scottish Child Payment now sits at £26.70 per child a week and is lifting thousands of children out of poverty. The UK Government should take complimentary action to help the Scottish Government fulfil its mission to eradicate child poverty. | Plaid Cymru would prioritise work to alleviate the effects of climate change on our communities, and in ways that take account of the psychological as well as physical tolls of this crisis. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | Our environment is our most precious resource; we depend on it for the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. | The UK has stark health inequalities. It cannot be right that life expectancy varies so widely across and within communities. As part of our health mission, Labour will tackle the social determinants of health, halving the gap in healthy life expectancy between the richest and poorest regions in England. | How has the SNP Scottish Government supported households?... ...● Expanded free childcare, saving families £5,500 annually ● Extended free school meal provision and cancelled school meal debt | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | We will work with farmers and other stakeholders, to transform our food and farming system so it produces healthy, nutritious food at fair prices for consumers and with fair wages for growers. We will also aim to increase the amount of food that is grown and traded in the UK and as locally as possible. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | With 15% of all households experiencing food insecurity and millions of people struggling to put food on the table. Elected Greens will push for: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | The impact of climate change means our food supply is under threat too, along with the livelihoods of our farmers. At the same time, the way we produce our food is damaging our natural world. Agriculture is responsible for about one tenth of all UK greenhouse gas emissions; it is the greatest driver of nature loss and is largely responsible for the scandal of polluted rivers. Shocks like extreme weather, the war in Ukraine and leaving the EU impacted our food supply chains – all of us have experienced empty shelves and food price rises, with those on lowest incomes worst hit. Our rural economies are struggling, and the rural poverty gap is increasing. All whilst one third of all food produced in the world ends up wasted. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | Rather than relying on imports of fresh fruit (80%) and vegetables (50%) we need to build local fresh food networks and bring horticulture back into our urban fringe. Such schemes are already providing a good alternative to processed food in cities such as Copenhagen | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
