Universal Credit

Debate between Esther McVey and Chris Elmore

Monday 5th November 2018 Commons Chamber

[Ms McVey]

At the moment, there are 1 million fewer people in absolute poverty and, under this Government, nearly 1 million fewer children are growing up in workless households. We believe that work is the best way out of poverty, and having a role model in the house who is working is the best way to get out of poverty too.

[Chris Elmore]

Thank you, Mr Speaker. Further to the shadow Secretary of State’s question about the managed migration regulations, will the Secretary of State confirm—yes or no will do—that this will be debated on the Floor of the House and not in Committee?

[Ms McVey]

Yes.
