"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 ā congratulations to @DrScottArthurMP for bringing this forward. @UUPWestminster

I have signed this important amendment to the UC & PIP Bill.
After tonightās 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 Parkinsonās and MS, are included in the severe conditions criteria for UC.

Thankfully EU implications wonāt impact this Bill - it will apply across the UK. The only Northern Ireland issue is access to the secondary data required, but Iām pleased that Health Minister @mikenesbittni has confirmed that he will bring forward a bill to rectify this.

.@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 This Bill has now been so amended on the hoof, that it now should be withdrawn!.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
