Hillier hails welfare deal after Labour revolt

Labour MP Dame Meg Hillier says a workable compromise has been reached on welfare reforms after ministers offered concessions to avoid defeat.

Sir Keir Starmer faced pressure from 126 Labour MPs who backed an amendment to block the Bill, but the government now expects it to pass its first Commons vote on 1 July.

Hillier says the changes are "critical to protecting the most vulnerable." Report by Covellm.
