Liz Kendall

Labour — Leicester West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 30 June 2025

Debate

Welfare Reform

Contribution

I want to make it very clear that the combined rate of the standard allowance and the health top-up will indeed rise in line with inflation, so that existing claimants are protected in real terms, and the incomes of those with severe lifelong conditions and those at the end of their life are also protected in real terms through the combined universal credit standard allowance top-up.
