PROGRESSIVE CATHOLIC CHURCH STILL FIGHTING UNIVERSAL CREDIT

UK Government must publish all documentation relating to Universal Credit says Progressive Catholic Church UK Metropolitan.

The Rt Reverend Dr. Cleminson is calling upon Esther McVey and her ministerial team at the Department for Work and Pensions in London to publish all documentation in relation to its flagship benefit reform Universal Credit. The calls come after a motion was defeated earlier last week in the Houses of Parliament.

The Rt Reverend Dr Cleminson stated:

“The public have a right to know about the impact this benefit is going to have on their incomes and their daily living, they need to know what effect it is going to have as to whether they are going to have the money they need to pay their bills. This is not something the Government can just hide from people and by doing so it just shows they have something to hide”.

“Esther McVey and her ministers need to be honest with people they cannot just idly sit by and watch as they inflict this awful benefit on the most vulnerable in society”.

“In fact if they want to be honest, why don’t they just admit that Universal Credit is a bad idea and scrap the plan and go back to the drawing board and come up with something that wont leave people waiting 5 weeks for money, reliant on food banks and also something that wont be driving them into debt. Neither should they be rolling something out if they cannot guarantee that the people who need it, aren’t going to be made poor and hungry.

“This is what Universal Credit does but they wont admit that and neither will the Conservative Party back Bench MP’s.”

Deus autem omnipotens benedicat tibi.
