I noted the lack of consultation with the disabled community as something highlighted within a lot of the media releases I’ve seen.

Labour MP Meg Hillier, chair of both the Treasury and Liaison committee, and also signed by 12 additional Labour party select committee chairs have said that the 2nd reading of the 'Changes to benefits for disabled people' Bill, which was due to be discussed & voted upon on the 1st July, should not go ahead.

I was just about to also post this which just came out today, but had to wait until I could access the forum again.

What’s the chances of this killing it off ?

Was on ITV news as “A potentially fatal amendment”.

Thinking the committee saw the same as rest of us and the MPs that voiced for us the report being published from tonight's meeting just waiting for it to come up
