Universal Credit (Waiting Days) (Amendment) Regulations 2015

I say with the deepest respect to the Minister, who I know is an honourable man, that only a very small number of people—and they are not with families and children—have received universal credit.

We have to take as an example the past year, where the same rules have applied about being able to afford to repay that advance on payment.

I come back to the fundamental point: how will those who are the most vulnerable manage? I am afraid that I have not yet been satisfied that we will do all we can, and I therefore believe it important to test the opinion of the House on this matter.
