The claim "There is no welfare Bill" was made by Kemi Badenoch at Prime Minister's Questions on June 3, 2026, in the context of criticizing the government's King's Speech (delivered May 13, 2026) for not including welfare reform legislation. Multiple sources confirm that no welfare bill was included in the 2026 King's Speech: - The BBC reported that "Welfare bill not included in government's King's Speech" and that the government was "not yet ready to propose a new parliamentary bill on welfare." - The House of Lords Library briefing stated: "No flagship welfare- or pensions-related legislation is expected to be announced in the 2026 King's Speech." - iNews confirmed: "a welfare bill did not feature in the King's Speech." - The government's King's Speech text (on gov.uk) outlines several bills (Education for All Bill, Digital Access to Services Bill, Police Reform Bill, NHS Modernisation Bill, etc.) but no dedicated welfare reform bill. - The BBC's report on Badenoch's PMQs exchange confirms she "asked why there was no welfare bill in this month's King's Speech." One caveat: a "Welfare Reform Bill 2026-27" was introduced on June 22, 2026 (by Conservative MP David Simmonds), but this was a Private Members' Bill (Presentation Bill) — not a government bill — and was introduced after Badenoch's June 3 speech. So it does not contradict the claim as made at the time. The context makes clear Badenoch was referring to the absence of a government welfare reform bill in the legislative agenda. This is confirmed by multiple independent and official sources. The claim is accurate.
