Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 17 January to Question 208315 on universal credit, which stakeholders her Department is working with to design the managed migration process.

The Department is working with a diverse group of around 80 stakeholder organisations to ensure the widest possible range of insights are played into the design of the process to move existing claimants who do not have a change in circumstances onto Universal Credit.

The Department is committed to engaging with these stakeholders in a respectful and professional manner and it would not reflect our agreed working relationship of partnership, reciprocation and trust for us to name those stakeholders participating without first seeking their express permission.
