Alt text: Screenshot from the UK Parliament website showing details of a Work and Pensions Committee inquiry titled βGet Britain Working: Pathways to Work.β The inquiry is described as a short investigation into the impact of government proposals to reform the disability and health-related benefits system, as outlined in the Pathways to Work Green Paper. The Committee is not calling for evidence but lists three terms of reference: 1. To explore the issues with the social security system the Green Paper aims to address; 2. To explore evidence of the impact of welfare changes on poverty and employment; 3. To explore the experience of sick and disabled people with the current welfare system and their views on the proposed changes.
