Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people stopped receiving Employment and Support Allowance as a result of gaining employment in each of the last five years.
The information requested is not readily available and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
Information on ESA exit reasons is not readily available for analytical use. Therefore, providing such information would require the matching of several databases, and would take a disproportionate amount of time to locate and produce.
