Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when he plans to publish the number of jobseeker's allowance and employment and support allowance claimants who have been subject to mandatory reconsideration.

The Department works to guidelines set by the UK Statistics Authority to ensure we publish statistics that meet high quality standards at the earliest opportunity.

The Department will pre announce a publication date for mandatory reconsideration statistics once Departmental statisticians are content that the data meet the quality standards set out by the Statistics codes of practice.
