Iain Duncan Smith should resign as work and pensions secretary after it emerged more than 4,000 people have died within six weeks of being found "fit for work" by the department

Additional Information

On Wednesday the government was forced to release figures that showed that between December 2011 to February 2014, 4,010 people died after being told they should find work following a "Work Capability Assessment".

The DWP stressed that "any causal effect between benefits and mortality cannot be assumed from these statistics".
