  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  
  
  
  @ MP voted aye for the publication of the business case for the âUniversal Creditâ scheme.
  @ MP voted no against publishing the business case for the âUniversal Creditâ scheme. 
  
  The majority of MPs voted against publishing the business case for the âUniversal Creditâ scheme. 
  
  The rejected motion which was the subject of this vote was moved by Liam Byrne MP (Birmingham, Hodge Hill, Labour). The motion stated:[1]
  
  :That this House 
  :''notes'' that the Universal Credit is late and over budget; 
  :recognises that there is widespread unease surrounding the implementation of the Â£2 billion schemeâs IT system; 
  :''further notes'' that the project is so badly designed that it is set to reduce work incentives for over two million people and hurt small businesses and the self-employed; 
  :''believes'' that Ministers have failed to properly account for numerous basic details of how the scheme will work, such as its interaction with free school meals or what is to be done with 20,000 Housing Benefit staff; 
  :''further believes'' that the project is poorly thought through and is now at risk of descending into chaos; and 
  :''calls on'' the Government to publish the business case, so that the House can see a detailed plan of implementation, and urgently to set out a plan to address these deep flaws before it is too late.
