Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Boris Johnson and Nick Hurd

Wednesday 30th October 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Hurd]

I understand the right hon. Gentleman’s point, and the Prime Minister has heard it directly.

[The Prime Minister (Boris Johnson)]

indicated assent.

[Mr Hurd]

It is not for me to revisit the bowels of welfare policy, but the right hon. Gentleman’s Select Committee on Work and Pensions has raised a serious point about extending the mitigations. That is for the devolved Administration and would be an urgent requirement for a restored Executive.
