Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what modelling his Department used to propose the new transitional benefit arrangements for EU migrants; when benefit payments under those arrangements will be greater than zero per cent; and what proportion of benefits EU migrants will be able to claim in each of the next five years.

These details are a matter for the implementation of the proposal, and further announcements will be made in due course.
