The Labour Government’s Welfare Bill has passed in Parliament after Sir Keir Starmer offered concessions to MPs.
The Government had already rolled back some of its plans – reversing cuts to Universal Credit and protecting current Personal Independence Payment claimants from stricter rules.
But some Labour MPs were still worried that a review into the independence payments would not be completed before the new rules came into force and as a result, the Government said it would not change the rules until it had considered the review.
The Government won by 75 votes – but how did your MP vote?
