Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate he has made of the average amount spent by his Department per person on claimants aged between 18 and 24 in the Universal Credit Intensive Work Search Regime on (a) Youth Hub services and (b) Jobcentre services.

We do not hold the total spend on Youth Hub Services on a historic basis. We do have Youth Hub Work Coach costs which are covered in a separate PQ190112. We do not hold average costs per claimant.

Jobcentre services spending varies per person depending on the level of support they need and how long they are on benefits, and we do not hold average costs per claimant.
