Employment Schemes
Asked by: Baroness Penn (Conservative - Life peer) Wednesday 16th April 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Sherlock on 1 April, what assessment they have made of the number of people who moved into work as a result of previous employment programmes, and what the cost of those programmes was. Answered by Baroness Sherlock - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) There have been many impact assessments that estimate the extra people in work as a result of previous employment programmes, and also the benefits saved to the Exchequer and Society set against the costs of the programmes. Some recent evaluations cover the: Work Programme, European Support Fund, Work Choice, Job Entry Targeted Support, Job Finding Support and Kickstart programmes. I am depositing these impact documents in the Libraries of the House. See links to these reports below. The Work Programme: impact assessment - GOV.UK Impact evaluation of the European Social Fund 2014-2020 programme in England - GOV.UK Work Choice impact evaluation - GOV.UK JETS (Job Entry Targeted Support) Impact Evaluation - GOV.UK Job Finding Support programme: A Quantitative Impact Assessment - GOV.UK |

Universal Credit: Inflation
Asked by: Baroness Lister of Burtersett (Labour - Life peer) Thursday 3rd April 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by Baroness Sherlock on 18 March (HL Deb col 1203), whether the above-inflation increase in the standard rate of Universal Credit by the end of this Parliament represents an above-inflation increase in any year other than 2026–27. Answered by Baroness Sherlock - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) The announced increase in the standard allowance will see an above inflation increase in every year from 2026/27 to the end of Parliament.
The proposed increases are inflation (measured by CPI), plus: 2.3% in 2026/27, 3.1% in 2027/28, 4.0% in 2028/29 and 4.8% in 2029/30.
As such, in each year, the rates will be what they would have been under CPI uprating and then increased by the relevant percentage figure. |
