Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many reviews have been announced in Parliament by the Department for Work and Pensions in the last six years; how many have been completed; how many are still ongoing; and what is the timescale for completion of those reviews still ongoing.
There is no formal definition of “reviews”. The Department regularly reviews policies, programmes, projects and pilots to ensure that they meet their objectives. All important announcements are made to Parliament first by way of ministerial statements, replies to parliamentary questions, or in debate contributions by Ministers.
The information requested is not collated centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
