Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to her oral contribution of 7 January 2019, Official Report, column 3, what discussions she has had with the Leader of the House on what date in 2020 the planned vote on managed migration to universal credit will take place.

The Department has, in a Written Ministerial Statement today, set out a revised legislative plan for Universal Credit managed migration regulations.

This change provides the reassurance Parliament has requested, that we will report on our findings from the pilot before bringing forward legislation to extend managed migration.

This legislation will be subject to normal Parliamentary processes and any Parliamentary activity in relation to the revised regulations will be for parliament to consider.
