Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people in Garston and Halewood constituency have had more than one sanction in their benefit payments in each year since 2010.

The information required is not readily accessible and to provide this information would incur a disproportionate cost.

The available information on Jobseeker’s Allowance and Employment and Support Allowance sanction decisions, by parliamentary constituency, is published and can be found at: https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/:

Guidance on how to extract the information required can be found at: https://sw.stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/online-help/Getting-Started.html
