Universal Credit
(asked on 4th September 2019) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment his Department has made of the effectiveness of the delivery of data via the Data Hub since the introduction of universal credit.
This question was answered on 9th September 2019
The Data Hub is a secure mechanism for sharing data with local authorities not only for Universal Credit purposes, but for wider data share requirements across central and local Government and has been effective in doing so.
The Department has plans to iterate and enhance the current data shared in the future and are working with local authority colleagues to support this.
