Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, by how much the disability employment gap has been reduced since 7 May 2015.

The UK employment rates for disabled and non-disabled people are monitored quarterly based on the Labour Force Survey conducted by the Office for National Statistics. The latest available figures can be found here:

Only year on year comparisons can be made because the data are not seasonally adjusted. Therefore, the change in the UK disability employment gap since 7 May 2015 is not yet available.
