Government delays Welfare Reform Bill

15 July 2011

The Government has been forced to delay the 2nd Reading of the flagship Bill in the Lords.

DWP suggests other parliamentary business has blocked progress but the surprise postponement, till September from Tuesday 19th July 2011, will also give the Government time to lobby peers and answer the queries raised in DA's legal challenge.

Disability Alliance believes the pause will also give the Government the opportunity to address peers' concerns over the disabled people affected.
