Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made in establishing the "Get Britain Working" disability panel; and whether it will include representation from people with a range of disabilities, including sight loss.

This Government is committed to championing the voices of disabled people and taking an open and collaborative approach to engagement. As part of wider efforts to put disabled voices at the heart of policy, the Get Britain Working White Paper announced a commitment to establishing a panel to consult disabled people.

We are working to establish the Disability Advisory Panel and are undertaking the due process required to ensure the panel is set up in the most accessible and inclusive way. The panel will consist of people who have lived experience of disability, and it will include representation from people with a range of disabilities.
