The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions on financial support for disabled people.

Answered by Darren Jones

I regularly engage with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and other Cabinet colleagues on a range of issues, including support for disabled people. The Secretary of State recently launched the Pathways to Work Green Paper which set out government plans to support disabled people into work through a significant investment in employment support, and reform the health and disability benefits to make the system more pro work.
