Welfare Reform Bill

My hon. Friend may recall that, in an intervention on the Minister, the hon. Member for Shipley (Philip Davies) pledged his support to the Government on the basis that, in rejecting the Lords amendments, they were removing from the system people who had been abusing it as a ““lifestyle choice””. The people we are discussing are people who are suffering from life-impacting conditions such as cancer, Parkinson's and AIDS, or young people who have had disabilities since their birth or childhood. Where does the issue of lifestyle choices come in for those people?
