Proceeding contribution from Alan Gemmell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 June 2026. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Relationship between Social Security Scotland and the DWP.


Relationship between Social Security Scotland and the DWP

I congratulate the hon. Member for North East Fife (Wendy Chamberlain) on the debate she has had tonight. I also congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock (Elaine Stewart) on her new position in the Department. Does the Minister agree that at £600 million—or the cost of 5,000 motorhomes—the set-up of Social Security Scotland is a national scandal?
