I refer the hon, member to the Written Ministerial Statement made by my Rt. Hon. Friend, Iain Duncan Smith on Monday 13th October 2014.

The Secretary of State announced the next stage of implementing Universal Credit to all remaining Jobcentres and Local Authorities as we progress national expansion through 2015/16 and secure delivery of Universal Credit across Great Britain.

Currently, officials in my Department are working with delivery partners on the detailed schedule for national roll out. The finalised details will be made available in due course.
