Debbie
Abrahams MP, Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, commenting on the Citizen’s Advice Bureau report on Universal Credit
said:
“The Government must address the chaos engulfing
Universal Credit. It must pause the programme to tackle the serious design
flaws in UC at the same time as addressing its chaotic mismanagement.”
“The Government’s cuts to
Universal Credit means that on top of the design and delivery issues, it fails
to make work pay, compounding people’s ability to make ends meet. In spite of
this Government’s warm words about making Britain
fairer, their tax and spending choices have done the opposite.”
“Labour will invest to reform Universal Credit,
under our plans to create a social security system that, like the NHS, is there
for us all in our time of need.”
