Welfare Reform and Work Act

Proceeding contribution from Neil Gray (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 March 2018. It occurred during Debate on Welfare Reform and Work Act.

I commend my hon. Friend for her meticulous and erudite speech. Does she agree that the benefit freeze, even by its own measure, is going beyond what was predicted? That is suggested by the DWP’s own figures and the figures that the SNP has obtained from the House of Commons Library, which suggest that the increase in inflation means that £3 billion extra will be saved by the DWP from the benefit freeze.
