Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate she has made of the number of people who will be subject to in-work conditionality once the roll-out of universal credit is complete.

Work coaches engage at a personal and individual level with all of or our claimants and are committed to tailoring the support that we give, and any conditionality requirements to the specific circumstances of the individual.

The Department’s internal analysis indicates that there will be around 1 million claimants in work on Universal Credit, receiving support when Universal Credit is fully rolled out.

This internal analysis is derived from the Department’s INFORM and Policy Simulation models.
