Taking this approach has allowed us to accelerate our plans for national roll-out of Universal Credit to all Jobcentres and Local Authorities from February 2015, and will deliver £7 billion in economic benefits per year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Forest of Dean answering member printed Mr Mark Harper question first answered 11/11/2014 17:05:49 answering member 1520 label Biography information for Mr Mark Harper
