PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
UNIVERSAL CREDIT ROLLOUT (18 December 2018)

That this House calls upon the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions to do all that she can to ensure that nobody is worse off financially as a result of transitioning from legacy benefits onto universal credit; asks that the Government increases funding for universal credit, beyond that promised in the 2018 Budget, to help ensure that nobody is worse off financially on universal credit than they were under the legacy welfare system; and calls upon the Government to halt the rollout of universal credit, at the very least until the Department for Work and Pensions can focus fully on its rollout and the effect it has on recipients.
