RESTORATION OF WORK ALLOWANCE ELEMENT OF UNIVERSAL CREDIT

Tabled by Stephen Lloyd (Liberal Democrat) 34 signatures

The motion

That this House notes that one of the founding principles of universal credit was to make work pay; and therefore calls on the Government to return to this original principle by restoring the work allowance element to its original level, before funding for it was cut by around £3 billion a year in the 2015 Summer Budget.
