Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Nick Thomas-Symonds and Gavin Williamson

Monday 22nd October 2018 Commons Chamber

[Gavin Williamson]

I was hoping that I would get such an invite in the near future, and one has just come along. I would be delighted to visit the group. I know that my hon. Friend does so much work there and is so supportive of them, and I look forward to seeing that at first hand.

[Nick Thomas-Symonds (Torfaen) (Lab)]

Many veterans who have come to my constituency surgeries are being subjected to unnecessary face-to-face medical assessments in order to access social security benefits. Will the Secretary of State speak to his ministerial colleagues at the Department for Work and Pensions, to stop that happening?

[Gavin Williamson]

I would be delighted to do that.
