The Secretary of State’s Handling of Universal Credit

Debate between Margaret Greenwood and Bim Afolami

Wednesday 11th July 2018 Commons Chamber

[Margaret Greenwood]

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. This is an issue of the utmost importance and the Government must take note.

[Bim Afolami (Hitchin and Harpenden) (Con)]

Does the hon. Lady accept that the NAO report does not take into account what my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State and the Department have done recently in line with their “listen and learn” approach with the roll-out of universal credit?

[Margaret Greenwood]

I will come on to that point in my remarks.
