The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what information his Department hold on the average processing time for Access to Work grant applications for work experience placements.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

The Department does not hold data on the average processing time for Access to Work grant applications specifically for work experience placements. These applications are included within the overall processing times for Access to Work.

For details on the average processing time for Access to Work grant applications from April to June 2025, please refer to the answer I gave on 3 July 2025 to Question UIN 63906.
