Debbie
Abrahams MP,
Labour’s Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, commenting on today’s
Universal Credit statistics, said:
“The
increase in the number of people on Universal Credit is worrying given the
Government’s chaotic handling of its roll out.
“The
Conservatives have finally listened to Labour and scrapped the premium phone
helpline for claimants, now they need to listen to the calls of charities and
councils and back Labour’s motion today to immediately pause and fix the roll
out of Universal Credit, before more people are pushed into rent arrears,
poverty and homelessness.”
