Answered by Andrew Western
The Secretary of State, and ministers, regularly meet with Cabinet and ministerial colleagues, regarding a range of matters.
DWP takes the welfare of its staff very seriously and continues to provide a range of support to colleagues employed on time limited visas who are impacted by the uplift to Skilled Worker salary thresholds for sponsorship introduced in April 2024.
