Work and Pensions Committee questions minister Sir Stephen Timms on plans to reform welfare

The Work and Pensions Committee will this morning question minister Sir Stephen Timms on plans to reform welfare in the final session of the Pathways to Work inquiry.

It comes as Sir Keir Starmer has reaffirmed his desire to push through controversial benefit cuts, despite growing criticism from Labour figures including Sir Sadiq Khan.

The prime minister said there was a "clear moral case" for the reforms, which aim to slash £5bn a year from the welfare bill by 2030.

He defended the measures after more than 100 of his own MPs signed an amendment that could effectively kill off the proposed legislation.
