Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment her Department has made of whether there is a sufficient number of vacancies advertised on the Universal Jobmatch site for responsible carers and lone parents with children aged between five and 12 years old who are required to look for work of at least 25 per hours per week in order to receive universal credit.

We have made no assessment of the sufficiency of the number of roles with part time or flexible hours advertised on Universal Jobmatch. However, full-time roles can be explored on a part-time basis and vice versa.
