The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps her Department is taking to support disabled people into work in Southport constituency.

Answered by Liz Kendall

Disabled people in Southport deserve the same choices and chances to work as anyone else.

That is why we will transform support for disabled people who can work to get the jobs they want and deserve, including by investing an additional £1 billion a year through our Pathways to work employment programme.
