  MPs were considering the Welfare Reform and Work Bill[1].
  
  The amendment rejected in this vote was:
  
  :Amendment: 56, page 14, line 15, leave out Clause 13
  
  Clause 13[2] was titled ''Employment and support allowance: work-related activity component''. The clause provided for an amendment to [http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/5/part/1 Part 1 of the Welfare Reform Act 2007] to remove the "work-related activity component" from the Employment and Support Allowance. The component is paid at a rate of Â£29.05 per week.[3] 
  
  Together with the removal of the Limited Capability for Work component in 
  Universal Credit the changes are expected to reduce Government spending by Â£640m per year in 2020/21.[3]
