David Cameron has raised doubts over whether his
government's flagship welfare reform will be delivered by 2017 - a deadline
that has already been delayed once. The
Prime Minister said that universal credit was "immensely complicated"

are at odds with those made by the Work and Pensions Secretary just days ago.
Iain Duncan Smith staked his political reputation on a promise that the
project, which will see six different benefits rolled into one, will be
implemented on budget and within the new timetable. The minister made the
comments after a scathing report by the Government’s financial watchdog. Read
