Universal Credit: Cost Effectiveness
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether his Department plans to make further savings after the implementation of the Universal Credit Act in April 2026.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
This Government is committed to a social security system which raises employment and living standards by supporting and incentivising people into work and to work more, supports those who can never work to live with dignity, reduces poverty, promotes fairness and controls overall spending to ensure the long-term sustainability of the system for future generations.
