Keep £20 increase in Universal Credit, committees from four UK parliaments urge

Committees at the UK’s four parliaments have joined together to urge the UK not to ditch the £20 increase in Universal Credit brought in during the coronavirus pandemic. The conveners of committees at Westminster, Holyrood, Stormont and the Senedd have jointly written to Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey on the issue. And they said they hoped the UK Government would “take seriously our view that the uplift should be extended”. The £20 increase in the Universal Credit payments has been a “a lifeline for millions of families, saving them from being impoverished”, they argued. Opposition politicians, union leaders and anti-poverty campaigners have all been urging ministers to make the increase to the benefit payment permanent.

UK parliaments back continued universal credit boost

BBC News By Nick Eardley image copyrightPA The £20 a week increase in Universal Credit should be permanent, according to senior politicians from across the UK. In a letter, the chairs of four welfare committees from around the UK say removing the temporary top-up would affect families on the lowest incomes. And sources have also told the BBC that Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey supported keeping the uplift. The government insists the extra £20 is a short-term measure ending in October. The letter calling for the top-up to be made permanent was signed by the chairs of committees at Westminster, the Scottish Parliament, Senedd in Wales and Northern Ireland Assembly.
