The inquiry will also examine the impact of the benefit cap, conditionality and sanctions
The Work and Pensions Select Committee has launched a new inquiry to look at whether working age benefit levels in the UK are adequate to meet the needs of the people claiming. The cross-party Committee of MPs, chaired by Sir Stephen Timms MP, will ask if it is possible for the UK Government to reach consensus around what an ‘adequate’ benefits system would look like and how it would operate.
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns coupled with the cost of living crisis has also led to the UK Government providing emergency financial support packages, including specific interventions for those already receiving benefits. The Committee will also examine the impact of measures designed to incentivise work, such as the benefit cap, conditionality and the use of sanctions.

If it requires such frequent sticking-plaster measures, is it fit for purpose?”
