To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, when a Minister from his Department last made an official visit to Alyn and Deeside constituency.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State and I both live in Wales and serve Welsh constituencies. We have a consistent presence in Wales as we conduct many visits, events and meetings in Wales on a regular basis.
Details of Ministerial visits and meetings are published on the Office of the Secretary of State for Wales’ website and in Quarterly Ministerial Transparency Returns. In addition, visits and meetings conducted in support of the Wales Office priorities are published in the Office of the Secretary of State for Wales Annual Report and Accounts.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many unsuccessful claims for universal credit there were in Alyn and Deeside constituency in each of the last five years.

The Department supports claimants to make a successful claim to Universal Credit where they wish to do so. For example, those claimants who are unable to access or use our digital services, assistance to make and maintain their claim is available via the Freephone Universal Credit helpline. Face-to-face support is also available in Jobcentres. In exceptional circumstances, a home visit can be arranged to support a claimant in making and maintaining their claim.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average waiting time for personal independence payments tribunals in Alyn and Deeside constituency was in each of the last four years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average waiting time for personal independence payments tribunals in Alyn and Deeside constituency was in each of the last four years.
The volume of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) appeals made to the tribunal has built up since it was introduced as a new benefit in 2013. As the number, and age, of appeals lodged increased so has the average waiting time.
Waiting times generally can fluctuate temporarily and geographically, owing to a number of variable factors, including volumes of benefit decisions made locally, availability of medical/disability members, and venue capacity. Any disparity in waiting times is monitored and investigated locally.
HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has been working with the tribunal’s judiciary to identify initiatives with potential to increase the capacity and performance of the tribunal, including reviewing current listing practices to increase the number of PIP cases being able to be listed on a session. We are also in the process of recruiting over 350 judicial office holders to provide long term capacity in the tribunal.
The average waiting time for PIP appeals in each of the last four years, in the Alyn and Deeside constituency, is set out below.
