Stephen presses Prime Minister about Universal Credit uplift

At Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday 7 October, Stephen asked Prime Minister Boris Johnson about the £20 a week uplift in Universal Credit.

The uplift, introduced as part of the package of measures to support people during the coronavirus pandemic, is currently set to end in April, despite there being no end in sight for the pandemic. A coalition of 50 organisations including the Joseph Rowntree Foundation recently called on the Chancellor to continue this uplift.
