With Parliament going into the Summer recess there are many questions that have now received answers.

Mark Harper

(Shadow Minister, Work & Pensions; Forest of Dean, Conservative)

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many and what proportion of incapacity benefit claimants she expects will be migrated to employment and support allowance in each of the next three years.

Jonathan R Shaw

(Minister of State (Disabled People), Regional Affairs; Chatham & Aylesford, Labour)

In the White Paper, we set out our intention to migrate incapacity benefit customers to employment and support allowance between 2010 and 2013, using the Work Capability Assessment. We are currently looking closely at the process of migrating customers to employment and support allowance, to plan for implementation and develop a detailed strategy. We will ensure that the transition runs smoothly, fits within our overall programme and that our plans are flexible enough to adapt to changing economic circumstances as necessary.
