Proceeding contribution from Kevin Foster (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 July 2018. It occurred during Urgent question on ESA Underpayments.


ESA Underpayments

I welcome the Minister’s answers and the fact that £40 million has been paid out so far. She rightly highlighted the fact that claimants will get a free phone number to contact. Obviously, people listening may have concerns about what their own position might be. Will she update me as to whether she will be working with local advice agencies, such as Citizens Advice, and ensuring that they have information so, if people contact them, they too will be able to give out advice?
