The government has rejected calls to halt the roll out of
Universal Credit. During oral questions to Ministers at the DWP, Dr Eilidh
Whiteford MP SNP, Banff and Buchan demanded the programme be stopped, claiming
it was ‘simply not working’. She said: “Rent arrears are soaring, claimants are
waiting up to three months to have their claims processed and some people have
even lost their homes.” In calling for the halt to the roll out of UC, she
called on the government to launch “an immediate review”. Responding, Work and
Pensions Minister, Damian Hinds MP, rejected the calls. Read more on the RLA
