Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what progress his Department has made in its discussions with HM Revenue and Customs on plans to transfer tax credit debt to his Department; and if he will make a statement.
Both DWP and HMRC are working in partnership to deliver appropriate solutions to recover tax credits debt from Universal Credit (UC).
Significant progress has been made and we are on track to deliver solutions to timescales aligned to UC Programme delivery.
