Proceeding contribution from Lord Sharma (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 January 2019. It occurred during Urgent question on Universal Credit.


Universal Credit

My right hon. Friend is, of course, right: throughout this process, we must provide support for the vulnerable in particular. As he will know, once universal credit is fully rolled out, there will be over £2 billion more in the welfare system than there is under the current legacy benefits. One of the changes made in the Budget was the uplifting of work allowances, which will help young parents and also the disabled.
