Live reporting of the second reading of the infamous welfare bill.
The Work and Pensions Minister Sir Stephen Timms is expected to tell MPs that the timing of the eligibility changes to the personal independence payment (Pip) will now take account of the findings of the review that Timms is to lead.
MPs have expressed concerns over the last 24 hours that the planned scheduling of the Timms review was too close to the planned changes to Pip eligibility, that are due to come into affect in November of next year - and so its conclusions wouldn’t be able to be acted upon.
The government will seek to reassure MPs that this issue will now be resolved.
i love how starmer’s legacy is going to be killing poor and trans people, defending genocide, and being trump’s poodle.
