Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when he expects to have gathered sufficient data from labour market trials to compare the effectiveness of the different approaches to in-work progression with Universal Credit.
The Secretary of State announced on 29 September that pilots will be delivered in Universal Credit from 2015. The first in-work progression Randomised Control Trial (RCT) will be launched in Universal Credit in 2015 in line with national roll-out. Results are dependent upon the total claimant numbers available to participate in the RCT.
