Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what correspondence there been between the Scottish Government and her Department on split payments for universal credit claimants; and if she will publish that correspondence.
We continue to work closely with the Scottish Government on the transfer of welfare powers covered by the Scotland Act 2016, including split payments, on which we hope to see progress. As this is currently the subject of on-going policy development between DWP and the Scottish Government, the Department is not in a position to share correspondence.
