HULL: City MP Diana Johnson has criticised the Government's welfare reforms as an "attack on support for people in work and those seeking work in north Hull".

Ms Johnson tweeted her views as MPs debated the Welfare Benefits Uprating Bill, which will cap benefit rises at 1 per cent for three years as of next April. Benefits have historically risen in line with inflation but the Government argues the cap on working-age benefits and tax credits is vital to cutting the deficit.

The Government's own analysis shows 30 per cent of UK households will be affected by the cap, meaning an average loss of about £3 a week.

Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said Labour was "in denial" over the state of the economy.

Despite concerns of some Liberal Democrat MPs, the coalition won the vote on the Bill's Second Reading.

E YORKS: Withernsea Community Hospital has reopened after a scare over bacteria in its water system.

The hospital was closed on December 21 when tests found legionella in the water system.

The bacteria found was not the pneumophila strain that cause legionnaires' disease.

The minor injuries unit, out-patient clinics and dental access centre are now open as usual. The ward reopened on Tuesday.

An NHS spokesman said: "We apologise for the inconvenience the closure has caused."
