Laura follows up by pushing on the specific details of who might be excluded from welfare payments - for instance, people with disabilities who cannot work through no fault of their own.

Streeting replies that the government wants to ensure that those who need the most help, get the most help.

He says that he's been working with Liz Kendall, the work and pensions secretary, to integrate employment support and mental health support into care from the NHS.

Streeting is pressed again on the question of whether the government will freeze Personal Independence Payments (PIP) - our story has more on this.

Streeting suggests he hasn't seen these plans and warns people not rely on speculation.
