The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people of state pension age were in receipt of (a) Working and (b) Child Tax Credit in (a) Scarborough and Whitby constituency and (b) North Yorkshire on 4 November 2024.
Answered by James Murray
The information requested is not available for 4 November 2024.
The latest relevant statistics, “Child and working tax credits statistics: provisional awards, April 2024” were published in July based on available data on 1 April 2024. These statistics can be found here: Child and Working Tax Credits Statistics: Provisional Awards - April 2024 - GOV.UK
From further analysis of these statistics, the numbers requested are:
| Working Tax Credits | Child Tax Credits | |
| Scarborough and Whitby | 40 | 30 |
| North Yorkshire | 220 | 80 |
These numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10 and include those recipients who are claiming both Working and Child Tax Credits.
