PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Universal Credit (30 January 2019)

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions on the potential costs to the public purse of implementing changes to universal credit's automated systems in response to the High Court decision in R (Johnson, Woods, Barrett and Stewart) v SSWP CO/1552/2018.

Asked by:
Anna McMorrin (Labour)

I understand that the Department for Work and Pensions is carefully considering the High Court’s Judgment and it is therefore not appropriate to comment on this case, which is a matter for the Department for Work and Pensions.
