To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 19 December 2017 to Question 118806, on Social Fund: Credit, how many loans were provided through the Discretionary Social Fund in each of the last seven years.
Loans provided under the Discretionary Social Fund have been provided through both Budgeting Loans and Crisis Loans. However, Crisis Loans were abolished with effect from 31 March 2013 and there have been no new Crisis Loans issued after that date.
The number of loans provided each year through the Discretionary Social Fund is published in Annex 1 of the Social Fund Annual Report.
