Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate she has made of the number of people affected by administrative errors made by her Department which led to the overpayment of benefits in (a) Coventry, (b) the West Midlands and (c) England in each of the last five years.

The Department does not hold this type of data by geographical area. We are therefore unable to provide this information, as to do so would incur disproportionate costs.
