Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 July 2025

Debate

Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill

Contribution

I am proud to support amendment 2(a), which would stop this cut; new clause 4 and amendment 36, which would uphold rights under the UN convention on the rights of disabled persons; new clause 8, which would mandate the implementation of the Timms review; and new clause 10, which would mandate a human rights analysis. These amendments would mitigate the worst elements of this deeply misguided Bill, but I stand with every major disability rights organisation and say that the Bill must be scrapped altogether.
