Labour — Rother Valley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 July 2025

Debate

Welfare Spending

Contribution

My hon. Friend is talking about other areas of public policy that affect welfare. Is not the other side of the coin the 2.8 million people out of work due to long-term sickness and the state of our NHS? The fact that waiting lists are coming down month after month under this Labour Government will help people who are currently on benefits to get back into work.
