To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions on the timescale for the rollout of universal credit in Scotland; and if he will make a statement.

I meet regularly with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions to discuss a wide range of welfare related matters. Details of the rollout of universal credit is available on the UK Government website which can be found at:
