To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what recent discussions he has had with ministerial colleagues on reducing levels of unemployment.

One of our top priorities is to reduce the number of people-nearly 5 million-on incapacity, lone parent or jobseekers benefits.

We will reform the benefits system to make work pay, reassess the position of people on incapacity benefit and introduce the Work Programme, a single, integrated package of support, to give people the personalised support they need to find work.
