Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch is due to propose strict rules on how criminals and offenders can spend state benefits, as welfare reforms are positioned as a key topic for the next UK general election.
This weekend, taking on a round of media briefings, Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp outlined party plans of a “smart” approach to welfare reform. The proposed measures aim to tackle issues related to criminal and offender spending of state benefits, with a specific focus on tightening regulations concerning gambling activities.
