The only Bill introduced by the Department for Work and Pensions in the past five years which contained a sunset clause was the Bill for the Welfare Reform Act 2007 (see section 31(3) of that Act).
While the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions has no current plans for the future use of such clauses, he will consider their use when appropriate.
