To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many claimants attended Porthcawl Job Centre to claim (a) employment and support allowance and (b) universal credit in the latest period for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement.

The information requested for Employment and Support Allowance is not readily available and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
