Written Question
Universal Credit: Wales
Wednesday 13th April 2016

Asked by: Neil Coyle (Labour - Bermondsey and Old Southwark)

Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what assessment he has made of the effect of recent changes to universal credit on families in Wales.

Answered by Guto Bebb

Universal Credit is transforming the lives of the most disadvantaged children and families in this country.

This Government recognises that work is the best route out of poverty.

Our welfare reforms have resulted in record numbers of Welsh people going out to work – strengthening families through financial security and improving the life chances of children throughout Wales.
