The Government's flagship welfare reforms have been
thrown into jeopardy after 12 Conservative MPs wrote a private letter to the

warned David Gauke not to go ahead with a planned tenfold increase in the
roll-out of Universal Credit. Ministers had been expected to announce a
decision on whether to accelerate the roll-out in the coming weeks but the
backbench revolt risks wiping out the Tories' majority in the Commons if Labour
forces a vote, throwing the whole scheme into question. Read more on the Daily
Telegraph website.
