Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether his Department's review on workforce participation will consider students.

The Prime Minister has tasked the Secretary of State to look in detail at the issue of workforce participation, to identify and understand the barriers preventing people from joining the workforce or resulting in people leaving the workforce early.

The Department is working across government to identify and help address the causes of economic inactivity, building on the Government’s existing package of support to help people start, stay and succeed in work.
