NEW: The House of Parliament’s Work & Pensions Committee is launching an inquiry into the govt’s welfare reforms. This is good news! It doesn’t stop the fight—it makes it more vital. But it is significant, and it’s thanks to your tireless campaigning & the testimony so many of you have shared.
Alt text: Screenshot from the UK Parliament website showing details of a Work and Pensions Committee inquiry titled “Get Britain Working: Pathways to Work.” The inquiry is described as a short investigation into the impact of government proposals to reform the disability and health-related benefits system, as outlined in the Pathways to Work Green Paper. The Committee is not calling for evidence but lists three terms of reference: 1. To explore the issues with the social security system the Green Paper aims to address; 2. To explore evidence of the impact of welfare changes on poverty and employment; 3. To explore the experience of sick and disabled people with the current welfare system and their views on the proposed changes.
