PMQs: Corbyn and May on universal credit rollout
The prime minister appeared to give a surprising answer when the Labour leader asked her to pause the national rollout of universal credit.
Theresa May gave an initial “yes” - before telling noisy MPs to listen to the whole sentence. Pausing the benefit change would not help claimants, she added.
Jeremy Corbyn referred to his question a week ago about the cost of calling the universal credit helpline - the charges were scrapped ahead of the latest PMQs session.
