Home Office: Universal Credit
(asked on 19th October 2018) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate he has made of the (a) number and (b) proportion of staff employed by his Department in receipt of universal credit; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 7th November 2018
Members of staff apply for universal credit in a personal capacity and there are a number of different factors which determine whether or not an individual is eligible. It is not appropriate for the Department to seek this information from its staff and therefore it is not possible for the Secretary of State for Home Office to make an estimate of numbers, or a statement.
