Department for Work and Pensions: Publications
(asked on 27th February 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will make it his Department's policy to publish online editions of its Touchbase newsletter.
This question was answered on 7th March 2023
Touchbase is a weekly email newsletter from the Department for Work and Pensions which provides links to new and updated information on GOV.UK and other websites.
DWP has no plans at present to publish the email newsletters on GOV.UK because:
- they can compete with other guidance in search results and make it harder for people to find the information they need.
- they can duplicate other content on GOV.UK which is against the GOV.UK proposition Guidance.
- older editions can become out of date and there is a high risk that people will act on out of date guidance.
- DWP focuses digital resources on making sure GOV.UK guidance is kept up to date
Anyone can subscribe to receive Touchbase at Touchbase editions after March 2020 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
