Labor Secretary Liz Kendall announced his climbing in a letter last night.

He said that the people who receive personal independence payment (PIP) will continue to do so and that the corrections made to universal loan will also see that income is protected.

Other left -wing labor deputies warned that the privileges did not go forward enough and the bill will vote.

“But the majority of the cuts remain and still force hundreds of thousands of people to poverty. There is no good enough place.

He continued: “I will vote for the bill. The government should not balance books on the backs of disabled people.”

“Every MP will have to weigh the agreement themselves.

“Unfortunately, this face savings is more than that of exercise is more than doing it right by my sick and disabled components.

“No effect assessment. No joint construction with disabled groups. No agreement. I will still vote.”

Nottingham East Deputy Nadia Whitto, concessions, “is not enough and should worry us all,” he said.

“If you are disabled tomorrow, you will face the risk of not having the support you need.

“Our reforms are supported by our labor values ​​and the determination to provide the change in the country last year.”
