A Bill to make provision for warnings to be given to benefit claimants before they are given sanctions; and for connected purposes.

This Bill would require benefit claimants to receive a warning before any sanctions are imposed on their benefits. It would set out how those warnings should be issued and what information they must contain, with provisions for related or connected measures. The aim is to make sanctions fairer and more transparent for claimants.
The bill is at its first reading in the House of Commons, the initial stage of consideration. If it progresses, it would move to subsequent readings and committee scrutiny.
