The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will publish a breakdown of the preferred (a) written and (b) spoken language of people claiming Universal Credit.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

We do not have a breakdown of the preferred language of people claiming Universal Credit because we do not ask customers this information at any stage of the application or process.
