Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will make an estimate of the proportion of disabled people in Glasgow East constituency who were subject to an adverse sanction decision in 2016.

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

Statistics are available on the number of self-identified disabled people who have received an adverse sanction decision whilst in receipt of Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), Income Support or Jobseeker’s Allowance and these are published on Stat-Xplore here: https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/.

Guidance on how to extract the relevant information can be found at:
