Pathways to Work

Asked by Mr Andrew SnowdenConservativeDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 8 September 2026UIN 22667

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many participants have been supported through the Pathways to Work adviser programme in (i) England, (ii) Lancashire, and (iii) Fylde constituency.

Answered by Department for Work and Pensions

The Department does not currently hold the requested breakdown and providing a breakdown for England, Lancashire and Fylde constituency could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. However, over the past year (since April 2025) across Great Britain, more than 100,000 customers with Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity (LCWRA) have accessed voluntary Pathways to Work Adviser support. I refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 14 July 2026 to Question UIN 16275.

Statistical updates will be reported annually via our Get Britain Working outcomes reports on GOV.UK, including the latest health-related inactivity rates and the disability employment gap.
