Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many Post Office card account holders there are who also hold another bank account in the UK, broken down by (a) age profile, (b) constituent part of the UK and (c) parliamentary constituency.

Customers using the Post Office card account as a method of payment to receive their benefit or pensions are not obliged to inform the Department that they hold another bank account. For this reason, the information requested is not available.
