Debate

Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill

Contribution

It is bizarre, is it not, that there is an amendment that would take “personal independence payment” out of the title of the Bill? That is right and I welcome the fact that a number of Labour Members stood up and were counted on this. I found it particularly abhorrent that a number of Ministers kept on suggesting or hinting that PIP was an out-of-work benefit, when the reality is that it often helps people get in the right place to be able to work.
