Lords ChamberRead Full debate Read Hansard Text Read Debate Ministerial Extracts
Lord Freud
We will continue to support the disabled and the vulnerable in months to come.
Baroness Sherlock (Lab)
My Lords, maybe I can follow that up a little more. The noble Baroness, Lady Campbell of Surbiton, specifically asked for an assurance of the Prime Minister’s guarantee that he would continue to support disabled people and that their benefits would be protected. Let me give the Minister the opportunity to give that. The Government want to make £12 billion of welfare cuts. Will he say today that none of those will fall on disabled people?
Lord Freud
I repeat what I said: we will continue to support disabled people and the vulnerable through that process.
