Debate
Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment BillContribution
I am pleased that clause 5 was pulled from the Bill, but it is still totally unclear what will happen with PIP and when, and more importantly, when MPs will be able to scrutinise and debate the proposals. Will there be a vote following the Timms review? It is imperative that Members have oversight of the outcome of the review before any implementation. Failure to do so could lead to measures being pursued that many Members have been opposed to all along. For these reasons, I am supporting new clause 8 in the name of my right hon. Friend the Member for Hayes and Harlington (John McDonnell) and new clause 11 from my hon. Friend the Member for Penistone and Stocksbridge (Dr Tidball).
