To ask Her Majesty's Government what has been the cumulative saving made from welfare reform since 2010.
This question was answered on 18th June 2018
Figures from the Office for Budget Responsibility put cumulative savings from welfare reform from 2010 to the end of 2015/16 at £65 billion. In addition, in 2015, the Government announced plans for welfare reform which will deliver an extra £12 billion of annual savings; these have now been legislated for, and implementation has begun.
