Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the total amount of reduction was for all benefit awards resulting from sanctions in (a) Airdrie and Shotts constituency, (b) Wales, (c) Scotland and (d) Northern Ireland in the latest year for which data is available.

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

Benefit statistics for Northern Ireland are the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Department for Communities:
