Social Security: Wales
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what discussions she has had with the Welsh Government on the potential merits of devolving powers related to the administration of the social security system to Wales.
Answered by Andrew Western
The Secretary of State has not had any discussions with the Welsh Government about the devolution of the administration of the social security system to Wales.
The Government’s commitments on further devolution were outlined in our manifesto. We have no plans to devolve the administration of social security to Wales.
