We now vote on the motion, as amended.

(Translated)

Motion NDM6723 as amended:

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1.Believes that responsibility for tackling child poverty resides with both the UK Government and Welsh Government.

2. Notes with concern latest EHRC analysis which shows that UK Government tax and welfare reforms will push an extra 50,000 children into poverty by 2021/22.

3. Welcomes the Welsh Government focus on employment as the best route out of poverty and the ambitious actions set out in the Economic Action Plan and Employability Plan.

4. Welcomes the continued investment in Flying Start, Families First, the Pupil Development Grant and the Healthy Child Wales Programme to ensure every child has the best start in life.

5. Believes that the welfare needs of all UK citizens should be equally met and that the devolution of welfare benefits does not support this principle.
