PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Universal Credit: Scotland (26 March 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 14 March 2018 to Question 131814, on Universal Credit: Scotland, what information the Scottish Government has provided to her Department on its split payment policy; and if she will make a statement.

Asked by:
Ian Murray (Labour)

DWP and Scottish Government continue to share information on split payment policy to ensure a successful implementation, equivalent to the close working relationship DWP and Scottish Government successfully established to implement Scottish Choices in 2017. As this is the subject of on-going policy development between DWP and the Scottish Government, the Department is not in a position to share information it has been provided with.
