Budget 2021: a missed opportunity to make permanent the £20 increase to Universal Credit.
British Politics and Policy at LSE.
Ruth Patrick, Kayleigh Garthwaite, Geoff Page, Maddy Power, and Katie Pybus comment on the government’s decision to extend the £20 uplift to Universal Credit by six months only.
