Universal Credit 'increasing debt and homelessness'

World at One

Available for over a year

A group of Conservative MPs have reportedly written to the work and pensions secretary, demanding a pause in the implementation of the government's Universal Credit welfare plan. Shadow work and pensions secretary Debbie Abrahams told Mark Mardell that Universal Credit is increasing debt and homelessness. "The Tory MPs that have written this letter are absolutely right and I commend them," Ms Abrahams said. (Image: Debbie Abrahams. Credit: Getty Images)
