Welfare Reform and Work Bill

Proceeding contribution from Debbie Abrahams (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 February 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform and Work Bill.

I am sorry; I am not going to take any more interventions.

Further cuts are bound to be made as the hasty consultation on the personal independent payment earlier this year is pushed through. The Government have tried to regenerate the economy on the back of the poor and disabled. Work does not protect against poverty, and the poor and disabled have been made to pay the price. This is about cuts to our social security system.
