Business of the House

Proceeding contribution from Lord Lansley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 November 2013. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.

I do not think that I sought to assure the House—I think that I have assured the House. I have made that clear. I reiterate my earlier point that the

Public Accounts Committee report makes important points about the historic problems, and that is precisely why the Secretary of State and my colleagues have sought to ensure the safe and sound delivery of the programme by proceeding at a different pace for the roll-out. They and we remain committed to the achievement of universal credit on time and on budget, because the resources we provide should be directed towards supporting those who are most in need, and in the context of ensuring that it always pays to be in work.
