Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many individual cases of customer overpayment debt there have been in (a) Bury St Edmunds, (b) Suffolk, (c) the East of England and (d) England and Wales in each of the last five years; and what the total monetary value was of customer overpayment debts in this period.

Official statistics for customer overpayment debt are not readily available and to provide this information would incur disproportionate cost.
