Work and Pensions Committee

Wednesday 24 July 2019 Meeting starts at 9.50am

Witnesses: Ged Nichols, General Secretary, Accord, and Dominic Hook, National Office for Finance, Unite the Union

Subject: The work of the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions

Witnesses: Rt Hon Amber Rudd MP, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Department for Work and Pensions

Amber Rudd will be in the hot seat for what could be her last outing as DWP minister. Universal Credit is causing massive distress and the recent death of father of three Phillip Herron, 34 is highlighting the problems UC is causing, leaving people destitute and in many instances facing eviction.

This is the last chance before the summer recess for the DWP Committee to tackle the minister about the failings of Universal Credit and the problems it is causing.
