Baroness Manzoor – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Work and Pensions

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Baroness Manzoor on 2015-11-03.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what definitions of social mobility are used by the new Social Mobility Commission, and whether they refer to changes in income.

Lord Freud

Provisions to reform the Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission as the Social Mobility Commission are currently under consideration by Parliament as part of the Welfare Reform and Work Bill. Until these receive Royal Assent, the Commission will continue to operate under its existing statutory framework. Operating arrangements for the reformed Commission will be set in due course, subject to Royal Assent.
