Social Security Benefits: High Peak
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate her Department has made of the number of people claiming in-work benefits in High Peak constituency.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
Official statistics for the number of people on Universal Credit are published each month on Stat-Xplore, with breakdowns available by Westminster Parliamentary Constituency. The latest statistics are to June 2024, with a breakdown by employment indicator available to May 2024.
Users can log in or access Stat-Xplore as a guest and, if needed, can access general guidance on how to extract the information required, with more detailed guidance available in the Universal Credit Official Statistics: Stat-Xplore user guide.
Statistics on the number of people on Jobseeker’s Allowance or Employment and Support Allowance, who are in employment, are not readily available and to provide them would incur disproportionate cost.
