Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 4 February 2022 to Question 113195 on Disability: Databases, if she will publish further details of the framework the Disability Unit has designed to guide her Department's disability data assessment and improvement activities.

The Disability Unit currently has no plans to publish the framework to improve the availability, quality, relevance, and comparability of government disability data as it is still being piloted. We expect it will cover an audit of disability data by relevant department and its arms length bodies; an assessment of the quality of existing disability related data; an assessment of the available analysis both internally and in publications; an assessment of the relevance of the existing data with regard to the lived experience of disabled people and; information with regard to data management.
