To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he is taking with the Chancellor of the exchequer to co-produce policy changes to mobility allowances.
Stephen Timms
The Minister of State, Department for Work and Pensions, Minister for Equalities (Department for Education)
The PIP mobility element is in scope of the Timms Review, which aims to ensure PIP is fair and fit for the future.
We will co-produce the Review with disabled people, and their organisations to ensure lived experience is at the heart of its work. We will provide an update shortly.
We will not make changes to PIP eligibility, including for the mobility element, until the Review has concluded.

The chancellor of the exchequer is the government's chief financial minister and as such is responsible for raising government revenue through taxation or borrowing and for controlling overall government spending.
The chancellor's plans for the economy are delivered to the House of Commons every year in the Budget speech.
The chancellor is the most senior figure at the Treasury, even though the prime minister holds an additional title of 'First Lord of the Treasury'. He normally resides at Number 11 Downing Street.
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
