Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much has been overpaid in child tax credit and working tax credit as a result of technical and administrative errors by his Department; and how much of that overpayment has been written off in (a) the UK, (b) Scotland and (c) East Lothian constituency in each year since that scheme's inception.
