Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether the upcoming review into Universal Credit will be required to regularly report to Parliament on its progress.

The Government is fulfilling its manifesto commitment to review Universal Credit in a range of ways. The Universal Credit review process is working alongside the child poverty taskforce and others to consider how the full range of Universal Credit policy areas contribute to our objectives to tackle poverty, make work pay and boost growth. We are not expecting to produce a formal report but as part of the review, Parliament will be regularly updated on progress and any future changes.
