Tim Farron

Liberal Democrat — Westmorland and Lonsdale

Speaking in the House of Commons on 30 June 2025

Debate

Welfare Reform

Contribution

I spoke to a resident—a friend—in my constituency over the weekend. She is a wheelchair user since a failed back operation some years ago. She currently gets PIP. She gets three points for dressing and undressing and two points for washing and bathing. She needs help with both, yet she fears, as do I, that anybody with her exact needs applying after next November will be left without help. We are right, are we not, to be concerned and to fear that? That is unjust and uncaring, isn’t it?
