During this week’s BBC Sunday Politics show, Ian spoke to Fergus Hewison at his office about the devastating impact that the rollout of Universal Credit will have on Wansbeck constituents and other families across the whole of Northumberland just before Christmas.

“My office is doing all we can to support claimants and those families and individuals who are being affected by the disastrous rollout and its cruel and callous impact on our communities in Wansbeck. If you are concerned about your situation or the situation of someone you know please do not hesitate to get in touch with my team on 01670852494 or email me at; ian.lavery.mp@parliament.uk”
