To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the article by the Minister for Employment entitled, A perfect time to plan for the future with online Midlife MOT, published in the Sunday Express on 2 July 2023, on what evidential basis the Minister stated that hundreds of thousands of people have been helped to think about their next steps since the midlife MOT was launched in 2019; and if he will publish that data.

Since the championing of the policy by DWP and the private sector, the Midlife MOT has reached people through multiple channels to help them take stock of their finances, skills and health, and plan for their later life.
