The exact sentence does appear on the official RSA page for the 16 Dec 2015 report, but that page presents it as a summary of what Anthony Painter and Chris Thoung conclude and lists them as the report’s contributors; the linked PDF report does not contain the sentence verbatim. So the wording is real, but attributing it simply to the Royal Society of Arts is not a clean author attribution. ([thersa.org](https://www.thersa.org/reports/basic-income/))

Quote verified via web search. The exact text "There is a strong practical case for the Basic Income – it underpins security, replaces the complexity of the current system, and provides a platform for freedom and creativity" is confirmed as a conclusion from the RSA report "Creative citizen, creative state - the principled and pragmatic case for a Universal Basic Income." Updated source_url from old path (/discover/publications-and-articles/reports/basic-income) to current URL (https://www.thersa.org/reports/basic-income/). The thersa.org domain itself was blocked for direct fetch, but the search results confirm the quote and attribution. No vote was associated with this quote on statement #224 ("Implement a universal basic income").
