Bradford East MP Imran Hussain A BRADFORD MP said the Government s planned £20 a week cut to Universal Credit would plunge thousands of people into poverty last night. Imran Hussain, MP for Bradford East, was speaking during Labour s debate calling for the £20 a week uplift to Universal Credit brought in during the Covid-19 pandemic to remain. The Government is planning to scrap the boost in April, which would cost thousands of working families living in poverty £1,000 in support over the year. Mr Hussain spoke during the debate, explaining 13,000 households in Bradford East and 50,000 across the district currently rely on Universal Credit to make ends meet, with almost 19,000 of these households with children.
