Sir Iain Duncan Smith
Damian Green

That this House declines to give a second reading to the Social Security (Up-rating of Benefits) Bill because it reduces pensioners’ statutory entitlement to up-rating in line with earnings, saving £4.5 billion in State Pension expenditure in 2022/23, without diverting that saving towards maintaining the £20 uplift in universal credit, which according to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions would cost £5 billion for one year.
