Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Vicky Ford and Mims Davies

Wednesday 25th October 2023 Commons Chamber

[Mims Davies]

I thank my right hon. Friend for her point, which gives me the opportunity to say that from next Tuesday an additional £300 will be paid in cost of living payments to those who are eligible. Regarding access to work, there is a continuing focus on improving waiting times for customers and we are streamlining and digitising the process. Indeed, I spoke to the Minister for Disabled People this week on exactly this matter in relation to one of my own constituents, and I will see that he hears it again from my right hon. Friend.

[Vicky Ford (Chelmsford) (Con)]
