Welfare Reform and Work Bill

Proceeding contribution from Neil Coyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 March 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform and Work Bill.

The Government’s equalities watchdog has said that there is

“very little in the way of evidence”

to show that what the Government are trying to do will support disabled people back into work. In the last five years, the number of working-age disabled people has fallen, and the Government speak from a track record of failure. Are disabled people not right to be sceptical about what is about to happen? What direct evidence can the Minister offer about the support that will be delivered to disabled people?
