Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how his Department plans to reallocate the underspend from the Plan for Jobs in the 2020-21 financial year.

DWP drew-down £1.2billion in additional funding at Supplementary Estimates in February 2021 to fund the Plan for Jobs. The Department’s budget for 2021/22, including the funding available for the Plan for Jobs in that year, was set as part of the Spending Review (SR) 2020.
