Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, who determines whether a paper presented to the Universal Credit Programme Board is a below the line item and therefore not automatically deposited in the Library after two years.

The Senior Responsible Owner for Universal Credit determines whether papers go to the Programme Board as agenda items. However, all papers, including those below the line, are covered by our publication strategy. All Universal Credit Programme Board papers are automatically published in twice yearly batches (April and October) covering a 6-month period, 2 years after the date of the last meeting in the appropriate batch.
