| 16 Jun 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 893) “Do you have an idea of what change you need to see once we move forward with this?” | 18 |
| 16 Jun 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 893) “Okay. Could you talk about that in the context of the reserves and the cadets? Are you seeing the same problems and issues with both, or do they work differently?” | 30 |
| 16 Jun 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 893) “Right, so there is no difference between the cadets and the reserves? Thank you. Those are fairly concise answers to my question.” | 22 |
| 16 Jun 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 893) “My observation would be that if it is articulated in the Report that there is uncertainty about escalation mechanisms, I would read into that that there are problems that some people think should be escalated and are not sure how to do it. My take from that is that it is not working in all instances as well as it could…” | 90 |
| 16 Jun 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 893) “It does, but it also introduces an uncertainty in that that answer is slightly at odds with what is in the Report. I am happy with the response, and I understand that you will be looking at this as you move forward. I am comfortable with that, so thank you both.” | 51 |
| 9 Jun 2025 | Fossil Fuels “A very happy birthday to you, Mr Speaker. Given the enormous potential for renewable energy generation across Scotland, including in my constituency, does the Minister recognise that accelerating community-owned energy projects and, crucially, improving local transmission infrastructure would not only reduce fossil fue…” energyenvironmenteconomy-jobs | 52 |
| 15 May 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 823) “Apologies; I am just trying to get a sense. What I heard there was you saying, “We set a figure at month 1. Then we realised at month 6 we needed less and adapted accordingly.” Is that what you are saying?” | 41 |
| 15 May 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 823) “It is a holistic conversation with the Treasury and you come back to it and say, “Actually, we made a mistake. We did not need as much but we can take less.”” | 32 |
| 15 May 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 823) “Can I move on now to funding for work coaches? This is paragraphs 11 and 2.12 of the NAO Report. You do not have the funding for the coaches that you asked for. Why? Why have you not secured enough funding to pay for the work coaches that you need?” | 50 |
| 15 May 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 823) “To move us on, you might want to write to us when you have decided what is going to be permanent and when it is going to be made permanent. That is what we are we are trying to get to. What will be made permanent and when will it be made permanent?” | 53 |
| 15 May 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 823) “You are definitely getting it right in north-east England and Scotland. The Report says what you estimate and what you have. In Scotland, you are 0.1% higher than what you estimated, so that is pretty much bang on as much as you will get. If you look at southern England, though, you have a shortfall of 12.3%. What less…” | 113 |
| 15 May 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 823) “Paragraph 2.21 states, “DWP is examining whether some of the measures in the local flexibility framework could be made permanent”. Can you tell me what sorts of measures could be made permanent? When do you think you will make a decision as to whether that will be the case?” | 49 |
| 15 May 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 823) “It is the Department’s decision to reduce the number of work coaches, rather than the funding following the decision for that.” | 21 |
| 15 May 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 823) “At the start of your answer, you described what I would imagine is normal planning for your Department. You are going to get variations in job figures around the country. You have introduced a temporary framework to, I assume, allow for a temporary change in this. Your answer, to be fair, described how you would work u…” | 102 |
| 15 May 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 823) “I heard from your answer that this shortfall is a perfectly normal thing that is just to be expected, yet you have a framework and we are seeing throughout the Report that there is a huge workload. We will come on to all of that, but the shortfall is having an impact on staff and outcomes. I heard that this is just a n…” | 74 |
| 15 May 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 823) “Can I ask Barbara some questions now? What impact has the reduction in support had on claimants?” | 17 |
| 15 May 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 823) “Before we come to Barbara, as a Scottish MP, you are already working in a devolved nation, in a devolved environment. You are going to have to put resource into this new devolved world in England. Can I just get an assurance that you are aware that you already have a slightly different way of working in Scotland and th…” | 84 |
| 15 May 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 823) “Can I ask about what you are doing to increase the number of work coaches? The Report talks about some of the regional variations in where you are managing to recruit and retain the staff. Can you talk to what you are doing to increase the number of work coaches?” | 50 |
| 15 May 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 823) “I am just asking for clarification of what I am hearing you saying. I am just making sure I understand it.” | 21 |
| 15 May 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 823) “We will probably pick up on that.” | 7 |
