answer text <p>The information requested is shown in the table below:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Claims Cleared in 5 working days</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jobseekers Allowance</p></td><td><p>351,081</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Employment &amp; Support Allowance</p></td><td><p>385,934</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>This information is not collected in relation to Universal Credit. The assessment period and payment structure of Universal Credit is fundamentally different to the legacy benefits it is replacing. The first payment is made 5 weeks after the initial application (6 weeks if waiting days are served). This mirrors the world of work and allows for a 1 month assessment period in which to gather information about a claimant’s earnings.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government assessed the equality and human rights impacts of this policy fully, throughout policy development and in preparation for its implementation, thus meeting its obligations under the Public Sector Equality Duty, and ensuring compliance with the Human Rights Act 1998. Ministers have also taken account of that duty during the formulation of the exceptions to the policy. Consequently, it is the Government’s position that this policy is compliant with its obligations under the Equality Act 2010, the European Convention on Human Rights and the UN Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women.</p><p> </p><p>We have not estimated the number of pregnancies that will occur in the next 12 months as a result of non consensual sex. Information about terminations is not available.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise that this is a difficult and sensitive issue. We believe that this strikes the right balance between ensuring mothers get the support they need in a not overly intrusive manner whilst at the same time providing the right assurance to Government that the additional support is going to those for whom it is intended.</p>
