Labour — Leicester West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 May 2025

Debate

Personal Independence Payment: Disabled People

Contribution

I hear very clearly what my hon. Friend says, but I also want to be clear to the House: if people can never work, we want to protect them; if people can work, we want to support them. The truth is that a disabled person who is in work is half as likely to be poor as one who is out of work. We want to improve people’s chances and choices by supporting those who can work to do so and by protecting those who cannot.
