Some Conservative MPs are to join the SNP in demanding a
debate on postponing disability benefit cuts. They will jointly call for a
debate on plans to cut Employment and Support Allowance payments for sick and disabled
people by £29 a week. One MP said there could be an attempt to force the
government to concede at next year's Budget. The DWP said savings would be
reinvested in a new package of support. Ministers announced draft plans for
extra support for people affected by the cut - known as the work-related
activity group - but worried Conservatives say they will not be content unless
staff and funding is promised to help sick and disabled people. Read more on
