In Work and Pensions Questions on 4 May, Stephen asked a virtual question to Secretary of State Thérèse Coffey about the benefit cap.
Stephen commented afterwards: 'The Government has, rightly, raised Universal Credit, Working Tax Credit & housing support to help in the crisis. But for many in London, the benefit cap - which hasn’t been raised - is blocking the extra support. I hope the government changes course so that there is consistency and so that support gets to people who sorely need it in the current crisis.'
