Mr Speaker
Order. There are far too many noisy private conversations taking place in the Chamber. I would like to hear Dame Anne Begg.
Dame Anne Begg (Aberdeen South) (Lab)
Now that the move from incapacity benefit to employment and support allowance is well under way, anecdotally, it would appear that Atos is finding it very difficult to carry out the necessary work capability assessments, so there could be extra delays. Will the Minister please engage with his fellow Ministers in the DWP to make sure that Atos can deliver on the contract?
David Mundell
I can certainly assure the hon. Lady that I will pass on her concerns to the Department.
