Subordinate Legislation

Universal Credit (Claims and Payments) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2017 (SSI 2017/436)

We move to item 2, which is consideration of whether to take evidence on the Universal Credit (Claims and Payments) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2017 (SSI 2017/436). As the minister mentioned earlier, the regulations give to new universal credit claimants the options that are available to existing claimants. Given the evidence that has already been taken this year, are members content that we take no further evidence on this specific instrument?

Members indicated agreement.

We will consider the instrument at our meeting on 18 January. On that note, we move into private session.
