Liberal Democrat Work and Pensions spokesperson Stephen Lloyd MP said:
“The government has shown contempt for parliament by yet again seeking to ignore votes that happen to be inconvenient. Parliamentary votes are meant to matter, this is not a debating society.
“None of this changes the fact that the government’s Universal Credit proposals are a slow motion car crash. The government lost the argument, and now it has lost the vote.
“Ministers must now re-consider these proposals that will draw millions into poverty. Parliament has spoken, the government has a duty, a moral duty, to now listen.
“Maybe it is Theresa May who needs to ring an emergency hotline to get some help running the country.”
