[Nadine Dorries in the Chair] — Under-occupancy Penalty (23 Feb 2016)

Corri Wilson: I welcome this debate, which was secured by the hon. Member for Cardiff Central (Jo Stevens). We already know that the bedroom tax is nothing more than an ideological attempt to reduce the housing benefit bill and make better use of social housing stock by penalising low-income households deemed to be under-occupying their homes, but the problem of under-occupation will not be solved by...

[Nadine Dorries in the Chair] — Under-occupancy Penalty (23 Feb 2016)

Corri Wilson: I absolutely agree with the hon. Gentleman. People find themselves in a vicious circle and can never see the end. That is the problem. In other words, we are putting people through absolute misery for nothing. As we have heard, the Government tell us that discretionary housing payments are available to tackle the shortfall, but Shelter says that that provision is already overstretched. With...

Work Capability Assessments — [Mrs Madeleine Moon in the Chair] ( 9 Feb 2016)

Corri Wilson: The WCA was introduced to assess an individual’s eligibility for ESA. The assessments have three outcomes, which determine whether claimants are in the support group, or the work-related activity group, or are fit for work. Claimants who wish to dispute the decision must go through a mandatory reconsideration before they can appeal. They have one month after a decision to request that and...

Opposition Day — [16th Allotted Day] — Student Maintenance Grants: Cost of Public Transport (19 Jan 2016)

Corri Wilson: Transport is essential in providing people with access to work, learning, healthcare, food shops and leisure activities, especially in rural constituencies such as mine. But the reality is that the elderly, the young and the unemployed, who rely on public transport, struggle to reach hospitals, schools, jobcentres and the like. Because of cost and accessibility, most rural households are...

[Sir Roger Gale in the Chair] — Donald Trump (18 Jan 2016)

Corri Wilson: Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock, the constituency I am honoured to represent in this House, is a diverse bit of Scotland incorporating bustling towns, picturesque villages and rolling countryside. It is famous for its rugged coastline and stunning beaches, and for being the birthplace of Scotland’s national bard some 257 years ago next week. It is also home to one of the world’s earliest and...

Benefit Sanctions ( 2 Dec 2015)

Corri Wilson: It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Dorries. The UK Government brought in the sanctions regime to tackle the perceived culture of worklessness, which they used to justify the introduction of sanctions and conditionality as measures to change people’s behaviour and to incentivise people to find work. However, as I have recently been involved in the Welfare Reform and Work...

Royal Assent: Childcare Bill [Lords] (25 Nov 2015)

Corri Wilson: The Under-Secretary of State for Education, Lord Nash, stated in the other place that this Government are committed to supporting working families and that their focus is “unashamedly on children and their parents.”—[ Official Report, House of Lords, 14 October 2015; Vol. 765, c. 238.] I have some issues with that statement. Unlike this Government, the SNP is committed to improving and...

Royal Assent: Childcare Bill [Lords] (25 Nov 2015)

Corri Wilson: I want to make some progress, if the hon. Lady does not mind. To truly focus unashamedly on children, the Government should be using this Bill to improve outcomes for all children, especially those who are more vulnerable or disadvantaged, and to support parents to work, train or study, especially those who need routes into sustainable employment and out of poverty. Instead, the Bill excludes...

[Steve McCabe in the Chair] — Term-time Leave (26 Oct 2015)

Corri Wilson: It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship for the rest of this debate, Mr Hanson. I also thank the hon. Member for St Austell and Newquay (Steve Double) for introducing the debate; excellent points have been made throughout it. The petition was brought about as a result of regulations that were first laid before Parliament on 4 April 2013. They went through Parliament on the nod,...

Public Bill Committee: Welfare Reform and Work Bill: Clause 15 - Universal credit: work-related requirements (13 Oct 2015)

Corri Wilson: I was interested in the view of the hon. Member for Islington South and Finsbury on the jobcentre system. I worked in the Department for Work and Pensions for 20 years, and my experience is that jobcentre staff work incredibly hard to get claimants into work. The main reason that claimants cannot get off benefits seems to be that suitable jobs are not out there. Year after year, staff’s...
