Seems that the DWP select committee is going to be holding some sort of inquiry into sanctions - after the election - following the death of David Clapson and the change.org petition:

Has anyone found anything from the Work and Pensions Committee on this?  When did they announce they would be conducting an inquiry?

I don’t think there has been an announcement from the Committee as yet.

Here’s a list of its current inquiries -
