Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the rollout of Universal Credit.

This week marks 10 years since the first Universal Credit Pathfinder. UC was successfully rolled out to all Jobcentres by December 2018 and has improved employment outcomes for claimants, got rid of the old cliff edges and navigated the pandemic in a way Legacy Benefits could never have done. We are presently moving all tax credit recipients onto Universal Credit.
