Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people in Hemsworth constituency are in receipt of any type of welfare payment as at 16 July 2021.

The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
