Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what discussions her Department has held with independent providers of employment support to further develop the evidence base on what works to help people earn more and progress in work.

The In-work Progression Randomised Controlled Trial has now ceased but as we seek to further develop the evidence base on progression, we have regular discussions with a range of employment support providers, including those convened by the Employment Related Services Association.
