Monday 5th December 2022 Commons Chamber

[Gareth Davies (Grantham and Stamford) (Con)]

21. What progress his Department has made on increasing the number of people with disabilities in work.

[Gareth Bacon (Orpington) (Con)]

24. What assessment he has made of the effectiveness of his Department's policies in helping people into work.

[The Minister for Employment (Guy Opperman)]

I have visited around 50 jobcentres, and this is an opportunity for me to thank the many disability employment advisers who do a fantastic job ensuring that we get disabled people into work. That figure is up 2 million since 2013, with nearly 5 million disabled people in work at the moment.
