How to watch the UK Government vote on welfare reforms

THE UK Government is set to vote on the second reading of Labour’s highly-criticised welfare reforms on Tuesday evening. 

If passed, the proposed cuts to benefits like Universal Credit and PIP could push around 150,000 people into poverty, according to the Labour Government's own analysis.

What time will the vote take place? 

As it stands, the vote is set to take place around 7pm on Tuesday, although this could be subject to change. 

Where can I watch? 

You can watch MPs vote live on Parliament TV, which can be found here.

BBC Parliament will likely provide live television coverage and can also be found via iPlayer. Other major broadcasters, such as Sky, may choose to cover the event. 

Alternatively, The National is running a live blog today covering everything related to the vote. You can follow along here, or read the full summary once the proceedings draw to a close.
