To propose that the Senedd:

2. Notes that the purpose of the Bill would be to:

b) place a duty on all public sector organisations to maximise take-up of Welsh and local authority benefits;

c) require public bodies to streamline and make consistent throughout Wales the method of application for such benefits.
