Asked by: James Cleverly (Conservative - Braintree)
Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what recent steps he has taken to transfer welfare powers to the Scottish Government.
Answered by David Mundell
We continue to progress the transfer of welfare powers in the Scotland Act 2016, most recently enabling the Scottish Parliament to legislate for carers benefits, disability benefits and payments made from the regulated social fund. I look forward to seeing how the Scottish Government use these extensive new powers.
