Liberal Democrats Learn more about the policies we passed at Autumn Conference



<[link removed]>



Dear John,

We recently told you about all the exciting moments you may have missed from
our Autumn Conference in Bournemouth. If you missed it, you can read the email
here
<[link removed]>
.

A core function of Conference is to pass new policies that we will take to
the country.

Unlike other parties, our members vote on policies that are binding. Why?
Because when real people with real experiences guide decision-making, we create
the most effective policies for all.

We passed 22 new policies in Bournemouth to help build a safer, fairer, and
more prosperous country and world.

Find out about what we’re fighting for below - and if you’re inspired, why not
join our party

to help make them a reality?

Making the UK-EU reset summit count

Nearly five years on, the Conservatives’ botched Brexit deal continues to hold
back British people, our businesses and our economy. Our policy calls for much
more ambition to truly restore our relations.

We will: Agree a much bolder deal with the EU, including through negotiating a
bespoke UK-EU Customs Union, backing a Youth Mobility Scheme, and expanding
defence-industrial cooperation.

🚑 Getting emergency care back on track

Our NHS emergency services are in crisis – with patients dying in A&E waiting
rooms, hours-long ambulance delays, and unsafe ‘corridor care’ becoming
routine. Our new policy will restore dignity for patients, protect NHS staff,
and save lives.

We will: Save emergency health services by ending corridor care, fixing the
broken social care system, tackling staff shortages, protecting ambulance
services and taking other essential measures.

Policing fit for the future

Years of Conservative neglect weakened our police forces and the public’s
faith in their ability to keep us safe. Our policy seeks to restore policing,
putting public safety first, ensuring everyone can feel safe in their home and
on their street.

We will: Reduce the pressure on the police and justice system by tackling
court backlogs, reducing reoffending, and prioritising crime prevention, while
taking bold action to keep people safe, from improving responses to violence
against women and girls to fighting rural crime.

☕ Backing hospitality for growth and jobs

Hospitality businesses are vital for jobs, economic growth, and thriving
communities – our new policy backs hospitality, helping pubs, cafés,
restaurants, and hotels not just survive, but thrive - supporting local jobs
and boosting the economy.

We will: Boost small and medium-sized hospitality businesses by helping them
invest, supporting skills development, and reforming business rates and taxes,
among other measures.

Building a fair asylum system

The UK’s asylum system is failing, leaving people fleeing conflict stuck in
temporary housing, unable to work, and separated from their loved ones. Our new
policy gives practical solutions to clear up the broken system left by the
Conservatives.

We will: End the use of asylum hotels by clearing the backlog, lift the ban on
employment for asylum seekers, restore family reunion pathways, tackle
dangerous crossings, and reaffirm our commitment to the ECHR.

Improving access to justice

Years of cuts have hollowed out the legal aid system, leaving millions without
access to timely legal advice. Our new policy will make legal aid a guaranteed
right, so no one is left without help.

We will: Establish a new legal right to affordable, reasonable legal aid, and
improve access by making the system simpler and ensuring everyone can access
support in their community.

🫶 Protecting our hospices

Hospices provide compassionate end of life care for hundreds of thousands of
people each year, while easing pressure on overstretched NHS hospitals. After
years of underfunding and rising costs, our new policy will secure the future
of hospice care.

We will: Support hospices by exempting them from the Employer’s National
Insurance hike, tackling staff shortages, and helping their finances, while
better supporting families and the bereaved.

🌱 Backing youth work to build communities

Youth work changes lives by providing safe spaces, building skills, and
improving life chances for young people. Our policy backs youth work by calling
on the Government to prioritise it in their upcoming National Youth Strategy.

We will: Support youth work with a long-term funding settlement, a workforce
and training strategy, help for charity-run youth services, and other steps.
