The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 20 May 2025 to Question 51603, if he will provide an update on when the Pathways to Work White Paper will be published.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

We have already put in place the equivalent of over 1000 full-time Pathways to Work advisers across Britain to support disabled people into work.

We have also launched the Timms Review to ensure PIP is fair and fit for the future and are increasing the number of health assessments that are being conducted in person. We will be bringing forward other policy updates in due course.
