Asked by Perran MoonLabourDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 11 April 2025UIN 44170

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether she plans to consult with stakeholders on the potential (a) duration and (b) level of support available in relation to her Department's proposals for unemployment insurance.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

We are consulting on plans for a new “Unemployment Insurance” as part of the Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper. As part of this, we are running a number of accessible virtual and face-to-face events on the Green Paper to hear from stakeholders, including disabled people and their representative organisations, directly. More information on these events and registration are available on the official consultation page on GOV.UK.
