Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 February 2023. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security and Pensions.
Social Security and Pensions
I simply want to respond briefly to the intervention of the hon. Member for Gloucester (Richard Graham), who mentioned me in passing—inaccurately, I must say. He was wrong to say that benefits have been uprated in line with inflation. At the moment, the headline rate of benefits is the lowest in real terms for 40 years, following the repeated freezes we have had. Does my hon. Friend agree that the hon. Member for Gloucester ought to check the record?
