Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Stephen Timms and Tulip Siddiq

Monday 29th June 2026 Commons Chamber

[Tulip Siddiq (Hampstead and Highgate) (Lab)]

One of my constituents is a former care leaver who is facing immense health conditions and he can no longer work. Given the lack of family and social support that many care leavers experience, they are uniquely vulnerable to financial insecurity. Can the Minister confirm that the experiences of care leavers are being considered as part of the Timms review?

[Sir Stephen Timms]

If the care leavers are PIP recipients —I think that is probably the case in the example my hon. Friend has given—we are certainly considering that point. If this issue is one that she thinks we need to reflect on in the review, I would be keen to hear about such experiences.
