Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when he plans to publish the recommendations from the peer reviews of deaths which occurred during benefit sanctions.

Peer Reviews are used to examine whether processes have been followed correctly, and are not used to seek out or apportion blame. Where opportunities for improvement are found, recommendations are made. It is important to appreciate that these reviews do not examine the underlying benefit policy or legislation. DWP has no plans to publish these reports.
