A north-east MP has warned the UK Government against bringing an end to a Universal Credit top-up amid a huge rise in the number of claimants. The number of people applying for the benefit in Aberdeen rose by nearly 200% between November 2019 and November 2020. Earlier this year ministers introduced a £20-per-week “uplift”, a scheme which is due to come to an end soon. In Parliament, Aberdeen South MP Stephen Flynn asked work and pensions secretary Therese Coffey whether she had asked Chancellor Rishi Sunak to continue the uplift.

Government urged to review ridiculous A listed status for Aberdeen blocks

SNP Aberdeen Central MSP Kevin Stewart, who also the housing minister, has urged Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop to think about the residents who have had this imposed upon them. In a letter he wrote: “Historic Environment Scotland appear to have ignored the fact that people live in these blocks and that the implications of A listed status will be severe in terms of restrictions on remedial and repair work. “Beyond that, this decision will put at risk future energy efficiency measures and district heating installations to the blocks. “I recognise that Historic Environment Scotland are an independent body from the Scottish Government and so I know that your powers are limited in this regard, but I urge you to look into this matter and consider the impact this ridiculous decision will have upon people in Aberdeen who live in the buildings affected.”
