I’m determined to make our benefit system fit for the future and fair to the taxpayer, transforming lives and unlocking potential.   The next chapter in our welfare reform story – the Modernising Support Green Paper.

Today we’ve announced the roll out of our new WorkWell service. This will help thousands more people to get the support they need to stay in work. All part of our £2.5bn Back to Work Plan.

Our disability benefit system hasn’t been reviewed in over a decade. We want to make sure it’s fit for the future, with enhanced support for those who need it most and better value for the taxpayer.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Frank Field. He was a true champion of welfare reform and working across parties to bring about change. And while we didn’t agree on everything, his belief that welfare must be about transforming lives is one that I both admire and share.

We’re taking defence spending to 2.5% of GDP. The biggest strengthening of our national defence for a generation.
