Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether his Department collects data on referrals to food banks by jobcentre staff.

The Department does not make direct referrals to foodbanks but offers a signposting service to those who have expressed an interest in using a foodbank; therefore no data are collected.
