The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what share of employment-support funding associated with the increase in spending to over £3.5 billion by 2028-29 has not been allocated to specific programmes and interventions.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

DWP conducts annual planning rounds, through which it confirms the funding for individual programmes. Allocations for future years will be confirmed as part of the 2027/28 and 2028/29 Main Estimates.
