Work and Pensions Committee questions minister Sir Stephen Timms on plans to reform welfare

The Work and Pensions Committee will this morning query minister Sir Stephen Timms on plans to reform welfare within the last session of the Pathways to Work inquiry.

It comes as Sir Keir Starmer has reaffirmed his want to push by way of controversial profit cuts, regardless of rising criticism from Labour figures together with Sir Sadiq Khan.

The prime minister mentioned there was a "clear moral case" for the reforms, which purpose to slash £5bn a yr from the welfare invoice by 2030.

He defended the measures after greater than 100 of his personal MPs signed an modification that might successfully kill off the proposed laws.
