Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what representations he has received from local authorities in Tranche 1 for universal credit roll-out about his Department's implementation plans for universal credit; and if he will make a statement.

I refer the Rt Hon Member to the answer I gave on 23 February 2015 to Question UIN224389,

We expect to confirm delivery partnership agreements with all Local Authorities in Tranche 1 at the point they go-live with Universal Credit. A full list of local authorities included in Tranche 1 can be found here
