Andrew Stephenson (Pendle) (Con)
Will the Secretary of State confirm that this Government are investing more in benefits for disabled people and more in mental health than ever before?
Damian Green
I can confirm that, and I have already quoted the specific figure for disability benefits. We now spend £11.4 billion on mental health services every year, and we will be spending more on disability benefits in every year of this Parliament than was spent in 2010.
