Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help improve disabled people’s lives.

The Disability Action Plan (DAP) will set out the action the Government will take in 2023 and 2024 to improve disabled people’s lives. It will contribute to this Government’s commitment to create a society that works for everyone, where all can participate fully and be included in society.

The DAP will set out how we will go further, taking concerted action across Government to improve disabled people’s lives.

We are also appointing a new cohort of Ministerial Disability Champions (MDCs), who will be accountable for their department’s contribution to the development and delivery of the DAP and will also act as a personal lead committed to championing disabled people within their department.
