"We're still in a very rushed process for what is a very serious topic.". The government should have pulled the Welfare Bill and carried out their review before implementing any changes. @ThatsTVBelfast.

Thank you to @DrScottArthurMP for the opportunity to sit on the Bill Committee for such an important piece of legislation. It was fantastic to see the Rare Cancers Bill pass through the Committee Stage so quickly.

Welcome news that the Rare Cancers Bill passed Committee Stage. This will be a lifesaving bill, set to increase research and investment into the treatment of rare cancers – congratulations to @DrScottArthurMP for bringing this forward. @UUPWestminster

After tonight’s Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill vote, I have tabled an amendment. My amendment seeks to ensure that people who have health conditions which fluctuate, for example Parkinson’s and MS, are included in the severe conditions criteria for UC.

Once again the Windsor Framework gets in the way of common sense and pragmatic solutions!. 🚜This time, farm machinery from Northern Ireland held in Scotland and unable to be returned to NI in case of soil on the underside of the equipment.

Thankfully EU implications won’t impact this Bill - it will apply across the UK. The only Northern Ireland issue is access to the secondary data required, but I’m pleased that Health Minister @mikenesbittni has confirmed that he will bring forward a bill to rectify this.

It is incredibly disappointing that after a long and impassioned debate the Welfare Cuts were passed last night. A Bill so clumsily amended on the hoof that the government carved out core elements of their own bill - but it doesn’t go far enough to fix the damage it’ll cause.

.@UKLabour Welfare Minister has now confirmed to me that, the Government will also remove Schedule 2 - 4, which keeps equivalence for Northern Ireland with removing Clause 5. This Bill has now been so amended on the hoof, that it now should be withdrawn!.

The latest @UKLabour on the hoof announcement to withdraw Clause 5 at Committee stage, ignores Northern Ireland as Clause 6, meaning that the 4 point criteria will still apply to Northern Ireland. The Government needs to provide clarification!.

The Welfare Reform Bill is set to create an abandoned generation of young people with disabilities and life limiting conditions. Access to work, education and a full life would all become further out of reach for many. That is unacceptable. @uuponline @UUPWestminster
