Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if his Department will make an assessment of the adequacy of the current level of the lone parent work allowance.
We have not made a formal assessment of the impact of the work allowance and have no current plans to do so. The Department is helping families keep more of what they earn by increasing Work Allowances by 3% from April 2018.
