Last January, Green Party MP Caroline Lucas tabled an Early Day Motion (EDM 974), “calling on the Government to fund and commission further research into the possibilities offered by the various Basic Income models, their feasibility, their potential to guarantee additional help for those who need it most, and how the complex economic and social challenges of introducing a Basic Income might be met.”
There is now a petition to ensure that EDM 974 will be debated in Parliament if enough signatures are received.
UK residents can sign the petition, and anyone can learn more, here.
