Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the ONS nomis database, of the 5,030 people in the North East who ceased to claim jobseeker's allowance in January 2015 for other reasons, how many of those people had sanctions placed on their entitlement claim.
The information requested is not readily available, and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
