Subordinate Legislation

Universal Credit (Claims and Payments) (Scotland) Regulations 2017 (SSI 2017/227)

Welcome to the 17th meeting in 2017 of the Social Security Committee. I remind everyone to turn off mobile phones, as they interfere with the sound system.

Agenda item 1 is the committee’s further consideration of the Universal Credit (Claims and Payments) (Scotland) Regulations 2017 (SSI 2017/227). Members will have seen the papers from the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. Is the committee content to note the instrument, and also to write to the Scottish Government to seek responses to the issues raised in the committee’s evidence session on 7 September?

Members indicated agreement.
