Welfare Reform and Work Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 July 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform and Work Bill.

My hon. Friend raises an important point, which I wanted to return to. The implication of what the Secretary of State said is that, for example, people with Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis should be in the support group, not in the work-related activity group. The Secretary of State needs to follow that through.

Because we support some measures in the Bill, oppose others and want to change yet others to make them workable, we ask the House to support the reasoned amendment in my name and those of my right hon. and hon. Friends.
