CHRISTMAS BONUS FOR WELFARE RECIPIENTS

Early day motion 2104, tabled 25 February 2019 by Jim Cunningham (Labour). Signed by 36 members.

That this House calls upon the Government to reconsider its decision not to award universal credit recipients a one-off Christmas bonus which is given to the recipients of 19 other welfare payments; considers that the Government should uprate the Christmas bonus payment ahead of December 2019 which remains at a one-off payment of £10 and has never been uprated since its introduction in 1972; and calls on the Government to commit to maintaining the Christmas bonus into the long-term future for all welfare recipients.
