Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the Answer of 26 April 2022 to Question 154232, what the level of remuneration was for the post of Chair of the Universal Credit Programme Board in each year since its creation.

Sir Robert Walmsley’s annual remuneration payment between 29 July 2013 to 29 February 2020 was £15,000.

John McGlynn’s annual remuneration payment from 05 August 2021 was £7,500, however he has chosen to waive any payments.

In the period between Sir Robert Walmsley leaving the post and John McGlynn taking it up both Neil Couling and Will Quince MP sat as chairs, they received no payment for this.
