Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what evidence his Department has that (a) under the full service and (b) under the live service universal credit (i) moves people into work more quickly and (ii) supports people to stay in work longer than the previous system; and if he will set out the timescale over which that evidence was collected.

We will be publishing further research on the employment impacts of Universal Credit shortly.
