Confirmation that the Coalition Government is going to move faster, as expect, with the migration of Incapacity Benefit to ESA.

Mr Bain: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what the timetable is for the Government's planned re-assessment of all current claimants of incapacity benefit for their readiness to work; and whether any targets have been set for the number of people to be removed from incapacity benefit through this re-assessment. [2162]

Chris Grayling: We will be testing and learning from a small scale trial which will run from October 2010. Full migration will not begin until April 2011. We expect it to be completed in 2014.
