Universal Credit (British Citizens) Bill

This bill proposes to restrict Universal Credit eligibility to British citizens only, excluding nonBritish nationals (including EU citizens postBrexit, other foreign nationals, and potentially asylum seekers or visa holders). The measure aims to reduce welfare spending on noncitizen residents and prioritise support for British citizens. It would likely require changes to current eligibility criteria, which already have various residency and immigration status requirements. The bill represents a significant shift in who can access this core welfare benefit.
