The motion
That this House recognises Challenge Poverty Week 2018, which took place from the 1 to 5 October 2018; pays thanks to the many organisations taking part in anti-poverty work across the UK; acknowledges that there are many vital organisations available to help those who may be in need and thanks all workers and volunteers who dedicate their time and effort to helping reduce the impact of poverty; notes that universal credit is pushing thousands of people into poverty; and calls on the Government to immediately halt the rollout of universal credit.
