Owen Smith MP, Labour’s Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, commenting on Macmillan Cancer Support commissioned research showing cancer patients ‘risk losing homes over allowance cuts’, said:

“The government should be ashamed of the findings in this report. Being struck by this cruel disease is a worry for all families and it’s unacceptable that these cuts could force victims out of their homes.

"Labour opposed these plans in the Commons, so we are calling on Tory ministers to look at their consciences and come back before Parliament with plans to drop these cuts from the Bill.”
