Welfare Benefits Up-rating Bill

My Lords, I have my name to Amendment 12. I support what my noble friend Lady Morgan of Drefelin said.

The Bill could see vulnerable cancer patients and other seriously ill patients losing out on almost £500 per year if inflation rises. That is a great deal of money for people who are not working and who are ill. I hope that the Minister will give some hope that those vulnerable people will not suffer and that he will support this helpful amendment.
