Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jim Cunningham (Labour), on Tuesday, 18 December 2018, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 54 members in total.


UNIVERSAL CREDIT ROLLOUT

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.
