Welfare Reform

Debate between Judith Cummins and Gregor Poynton

Tuesday 18th March 2025 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)]

Order. I am hoping to try to get everybody in, but I will be finishing the statement at around 2.30 pm. Please help each other by keeping questions and answers short.

[Gregor Poynton (Livingston) (Lab)]

My constituents will welcome the Secretary of State’s commitment today to protecting with dignity those who cannot work because they are so severely disabled or because of illness. There are many sick and disabled people who can work with the right support, so can my right hon. Friend confirm that those people will get the support they need to get into work to build a better life for them and their families?
