Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment, Jobseeker’s Allowance and Employment and Support Allowance (Claims and Payments) Regulations 2013

Debates on delegated legislation on Monday, 21 October 2013, in the House of Lords, led by Lord McKenzie of Luton. The answering member was Lord Freud.
Lords motion that this House is concerned that provisions in the Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment, Jobseeker’s Allowance and Employment and Support Allowance (Claims and Payments) Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/380) to provide for the payment of universal credit awards on a monthly basis may result in budgeting pressures on low income families; and further regrets that universal credit awards being paid in respect of children or rent charges will not by default be paid to the main carer of the children or to the person liable for that charge, and expresses concerns that this may impact disproportionately on women and vulnerable members of society. Motion withdrawn.
