To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many Direct Deduction Orders have been issues since the introduction of the Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Act 2025.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many Direct Deduction Orders have been issues since the introduction of the Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Act 2025.
The Public Authorities (Fraud, Error, and Recovery) Act 2025 achieved Royal Assent on Tuesday 2 December 2025. The Act will help to address the significant challenge of public sector fraud and error, which costs the taxpayer billions of pounds annually.
The different measures contained in the Act are due to come into force across different dates between 2026 and 2029.
Whilst the Debt measures contained in the Act commenced in June 2026, the supporting regulations which will further develop the operational framework for the new recovery powers introduced in the Act will not come into force until October. As a result, to date, no direct deduction orders have been issued.
Motion to consider. Agreed to on question.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps his department is taking to ensure deductions from earnings cease promptly after a Universal Credit overpayment decision has been overturned.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps his department is taking to ensure deductions from earnings cease promptly after a Universal Credit overpayment decision has been overturned.
Where a tribunal decision overturns a Universal Credit overpayment, the decision is implemented through established DWP appeals and decision-making processes. Any resulting change to the claimant’s liability is recorded on the relevant systems and shared with Debt Management, enabling recovery action, including deductions from earnings, to be updated or ceased promptly, where appropriate.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will commit to making regulations under section 76(1) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 to prohibit employers from making 100% wage deductions where the partial performance in question constitutes protected industrial action.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will commit to making regulations under section 76(1) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 to prohibit employers from making 100% wage deductions where the partial performance in question constitutes protected industrial action.
The government response to the consultation on Protection against Detriments for Taking Industrial Action, published 23 June 2026, states that the government does not plan to change the common law rules allowing pay deductions for industrial action, including partial performance. This is an area of law continuing to develop in the courts.
The draft Protection Against Detriment (Industrial Action) Regulations 2026, to be made under section 236A Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, prohibiting the use of detriments to penalise or deter protected industrial action, were laid in Parliament on 24 June 2026 and are consistent with this position.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what processes are in place to ensure refunds are made promptly where deductions have been taken in error following a tribunal decision.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what processes are in place to ensure refunds are made promptly where deductions have been taken in error following a tribunal decision.
When a tribunal decision changes a claimant’s benefit entitlement, the decision is implemented through established DWP processes. Where this results in an award overpayment or underpayment, the revised liability is calculated and where appropriate, the relevant information is passed to Debt Management so that any necessary debt recovery adjustments can be completed.
The process in place to prioritise refunds is through a designated inbox, which is monitored daily. If a customer is experiencing financial hardship they should contact DWP Debt Management to discuss their situation, including any follow-up about a potential refund after a successful mandatory reconsideration or appeal dispute.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of employment tribunal waiting times on workers pursuing claims relating to (a) unfair dismissal, (b) discrimination and (c) unlawful deduction from wages.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of employment tribunal waiting times on workers pursuing claims relating to (a) unfair dismissal, (b) discrimination and (c) unlawful deduction from wages.
Workers should be able to enforce their employment rights in a timely manner. As of April 2026, the average time from claim receipt to disposal was 59.6 weeks. Most one- and two-day hearings are currently being listed in 2026, although waiting times for longer hearings vary geographically.
We recognise the significant pressures facing Employment Tribunals and are taking action to increase capacity and reduce waiting times. This includes funding 32,590 sitting days in 2026/27, recruiting additional Employment Judges and operating a virtual region which enables 2,000 sitting days a year to be heard without geographical restriction.

New debt recovery powers agreed by Parliament in the Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Act 2025 are designed to increase fairness and to more effectively and efficiently be able to recover debt from individuals who are not in receipt of benefit or in suitable PAYE employment.
These powers will encourage voluntary repayment as well as ensuring that there is recourse for those who have the means to repay but do not.
Use of these Debt Recovery powers is governed by the published DWP Direct Deduction and Disqualification from Driving Orders Code of Practice, which sets out the strict safeguards that must be followed before any enforcement action is taken.
All DWP debt recovery activity, including through Direct Deduction Order’s or Driving Disqualification only take place once an overpayment decision has been made and communicated to the customer. This communication includes information on mandatory reconsideration and appeal rights.
