The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many (a) people and (b) groups have been consulted during summer 2025 as part of the PIP review.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

To date, I have met with representatives from more than 50 organisations including representatives of disabled people’s organisations, disability, welfare and carers’ charities, think tanks, co-production experts and more.

I am grateful to all of those who I have engaged with to discuss and listen to how we should approach co-production of the Timms Review. As the Review progresses, I am committed to ensuring it offers a broad spectrum of opportunities for engagement and involvement and hears from a diverse range of perspectives.
