Commitment

Index social welfare payments to inflation

What this means

  • The Green Party promised to link social welfare payments to inflation, so that benefits keep pace with rising prices over time.[source]
  • This commitment was made in the Green Party general election manifesto published on 12 November 2024, ahead of the 2024 general election.[source]
  • The party also committed to reforming the social welfare system so it applies more broadly, though no specific delivery date was given.[source]
  • This promise matters for accountability because it sets a clear standard: welfare payments should not lose real value as the cost of living rises.[source]
  • The commitment remains at the promised stage only, meaning it has not yet been delivered or legislated for.[source]
