Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, for what reason her Department (a) allocated funding for the PACE medical trial; and has not allocated funding for other medical trials since the PACE trial.
Funding, authorised by the then Chief Medical Adviser to the Department for Work and Pensions, was made available as a contribution from the department to the PACE study. The Department continues to be involved in research activity relevant to its remit.
