Conservative candidates set out their views, policies, and plans for LGBT rights in coming leadership election. LGBT+ Conservatives asked each of the candidates to talk about their record, and what they intend to be their focus if they become the next Conservative Party leader and Prime Minister.
Plans to more than double the maximum administrative penalty that can be offered as an alternative to prosecution for benefit fraud are to be considered by Parliament today.
The changes, if approved by MPs, will mean penalties of up to £5,000 can be issued in addition to recovery of any money falsely claimed, plus a four-week loss of benefits.
