answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2016 answer text <p>The Government is committed to eliminating child poverty and improving life chances for children. We know that work is the best route out of poverty, and Universal Credit is designed to strengthen incentives for parents to move into and progress in work. Evidence shows claimants move into work significantly faster and earn more than under the current system. In addition, Universal Credit now provides for 85% of childcare costs meaning more support for hardworking families.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 07/07/2016 13:04:59 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2016 answer text <p>A Jobseekers’ Allowance Sanctions “Early Warning” Trial was launched in March 2016 in Scotland. The trial is testing whether giving claimants a warning of an intention to sanction, and an extra 14 days to seek advice and support to provide additional or new evidence to provide good reason will be helpful to them and potentially reduce the volume of sanctions and reconsiderations.</p><p> </p><p>Data is currently being collected about claimants who have been subject to the new process so it is not possible at this stage to provide the information requested. An interim evaluation of the trial will be published in Autumn 2016 and a final evaluation in Spring 2017.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 06/06/2016 11:11:35 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
