Universal Credit
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 24 November 2015 to Question 16958, when the process of quality assuring his Department's data on universal credit will be complete; and when he will set out which statistics on universal credit will be published by his Department in the future.
- Answer
-
The Department published a statistics release strategy for Universal Credit in September 2013 (available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/universal-credit-statistics-background-information/universal-credit-statistics-background-information).
Official statistics on Universal Credit have been published on a monthly basis since December 2013. The range of statistics published has increased as quality assurance has been carried out. This process will continue on a wider range of breakdowns and Departmental statisticians anticipate being able to start releasing these, in accordance with the relevant protocols in the Code of Practice for Official Statistics, during 2016.
The Department will review and update the statistics release strategy in 2016.
