Very concerning to hear of the latest developments around Universal Credit. The DWP needs to build trust with people and this is not the way to do it. Asking people to prove their identity in this way is de-humanising and we would urge the DWP to find a better way to do this.

We want to ensure that necessary action is taken in light of this review by asking @MattHancock to ensure that no woman or girl takes an anti-epileptic medication without them, or their family, being aware of the risks. (8/9)
