Sir Stephen Timms

Labour — East Ham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 October 2025

Debate

Employment: People with Health Conditions

Contribution

I am not sure why the news of the transition did not reach Somerset; the plans have been quite well publicised. We have put in place a careful enhanced support journey for people, including a number of people on ESA, who might struggle with the transition. The hon. Gentleman raises a particular case, but if there are other cases where there are difficulties, we are able to provide extra support to ensure that people can make the transition without hardship.
