The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the answer of 2 December 2024 to Question 15704 on Jobcentres and Universal Credit: Telephone Services, what the costs were to her Department of translation and interpretation for each language code since 2021.

Answered by Alison McGovern

Further to our previous answer to Question 15704, we are unable to provide a full response to this follow up question. Following consultation with the supplier we consider the release of the specific costing information requested would prejudice commercial interests.
