Jamie Reed – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Work and Pensions

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jamie Reed on 2015-10-16.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many requests he has received for an inquiry into benefit sanctions.

Priti Patel

We have interpreted this question to mean how many requests the Secretary of State has received for an inquiry into benefit sanctions since taking post.

The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
