Universal Credit (Children)

Debate between Kate Osamor and Richard Graham

Tuesday 10th May 2016 Commons Chamber

[Kate Osamor]

I totally agree with my hon. Friend. There are many lone workers and people who have their own businesses in my constituency, and they have come to see me in my office to say that they are very concerned because they need to use benefits to top up their salaries. This is an issue that I hope the Government will take into account.

I conclude by asking the Minister to review the impact that work allowance reductions are having on working families, particularly single families. Secondly, will the Government agree to review annually the decision to freeze most key children’s benefits for four years?

[Richard Graham (Gloucester) (Con)]
