“Whether he has made a recent assessment of the impact of the UK leaving the EU on Scotland.”
Answering Minister
the Secretary of State for Scotland
Answer from Hansard
The Prime Minister
May I begin by congratulating Tommy and everyone selected to represent the British and Irish Lions? It is an incredible achievement and we will be cheering them on. It is important that we protect those with severe disabilities or lifelong health conditions who cannot work, paying them a premium and stopping those reassessments, which is part of the reform that we are bringing about. Ultimately, we also need to get back to face-to-face assessments by trained assessors and health professionals, which fell to only one in 10 assessments under the previous Government.
