Employment and Support Allowance: Wales
(asked on 10th November 2014) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate his Department has made of the number of employers in (a) Wales, (b) North Wales and (c) Aberconwy constituency who have not yet claimed employment and support allowance.
A publication on take-up of the Employment Allowance was published on Friday 7th November and is available on the GOV.UK website at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/employment-allowance-take-up-2014-to-2015-mid-year-estimate.
This contains mid-year estimates for 2014-15 of the number of employers benefitting from the Employment Allowance including breakdowns by region, sector, constituency and employer size.
These statistics show that take-up has been very positive with 68% of all eligible business and charities across the UK having claimed the allowance so far.
