Jerome Mayhew

Conservative — Broadland and Fakenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 November 2025

Debate

Welfare Spending

Contribution

The Minister talks about perverse disincentives and aspiring to be classified as sick. Does he accept that, with sickness benefits, someone will get £2,500 more than if they are on the national living wage full time? If that is the case, which it is, what is his plan to reverse that perverse disincentive?
