The implementation of the government's flagship welfare reform has been "extraordinarily poor", with much of the ?425m expenditure to date likely to be written off, MPs have said.

The Commons Public Accounts Committee said oversight of the Universal Credit scheme had been "alarmingly weak".

Warning signs were missed and there was a "fortress culture" among officials, it claimed.

Ministers said there was new leadership and controls had been strengthened.
