Universal Credit: Employment

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential equalities impacts of the Autumn Statement 2022 policy to require an additional 600,000 in-work Universal Credit claimants to meet with a work coach from September 2023.
