Watch the debate on SPTV
Defeated 23/75
As an amendment to motion S5M-08035 in the name of Jeane Freeman (Roll out of Universal Credit), leave out from "calls" to end and insert "recognises universal credit’s core purpose of ensuring that work always pays; agrees with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation’s assessment in April 2017 that universal credit 'remains the right thing to do', that the 'current system is fragmented and traps people in poverty', that the 'prospect of an integrated benefit system that responds to people's changing circumstances is a prize worth having' and that universal credit is 'an important tool for tackling poverty'; acknowledges that universal credit is a reserved benefit, but that Scottish ministers have significant powers to adapt its delivery in Scotland; welcomes regulations coming into force in Scotland, which will enable recipients to request changes to the way that their payments are made; recognises serious criticisms of the way that initial payments are delayed and the impact of these delays on vulnerable people; calls on the Department for Work and Pensions to ensure that, as universal credit is rolled out further, these concerns are addressed as a matter of urgency and, to that end, welcomes the announcement by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions on 2 October 2017 that claimants wanting advance payments will get them within five days or, if they are in immediate need, on the same day."
