Next Chief Executive And Tory Peer Simon Wolfson Slams 'Insane' Universal Credit

It is “insane” that people on Universal Credit have to wait six weeks before they get paid the first installment of the benefit, a Tory peer has said.
Simon Wolfson, the chief executive of Next who also sits in the House of Lords, said while Universal Credit “in principle is a great idea” - how it was operating was a mistake.
“This idea people have got to wait six weeks to get paid must be wrong,” he told BBC Question Time on Thursday evening.
