Amendment intended to kill off legislation that would cut benefits could be backed by up to 100 Labour MPs including senior figures
Labour MPs have launched a significant rebellion against the government’s benefit cuts with an amendment that could kill its welfare bill, spearheaded by senior select committee chairs.
The amendment – which has been signed by 108 MPs – declines to pass the government’s welfare changes and calls for a pause, including for further consultation and for support to be in place before any further cuts are made.
