    Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall will later this afternoon set out to Parliament the details of concessions the government has made to proposed welfare changes.

    Last week, Prime Minister Keir Starmer was forced into a U-turn over his planned benefits changes, after more than 120 Labour MPs threatened to vote down his plans.

    The deal with rebel MPs suggests the welfare reforms will only save £2bn a year, rather than the £5bn they were expected to save by 2030.

    Ministers are hoping the concessions will help limit the rebellion ahead of a key vote on the bill tomorrow - but dozens of Labour MPs are believed to still have misgivings, and could defy the government in Tuesday's vote.

    Stick with us as we follow Kendall's statement live - due at around 15:30 BST.
