Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 November 2016. It occurred during Opposition day on Autumn Statement Distributional Analysis, Universal Credit and ESA.


Autumn Statement Distributional Analysis, Universal Credit and ESA

On the ESA cut, does my right hon. Friend recall that at the time it was being taken through the House, we were assured that the Government would introduce an ambitious plan to reduce—indeed, to halve—the disability employment gap by 2020? Does he share my dismay that that goal has been abandoned completely?
