Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government what information is provided to newly unemployed people about the availability of new style jobseeker's allowance (JSA); and what is their estimate of the number of newly unemployed people who are not entitled to universal credit and who have not received new style JSA despite meeting the contributory conditions.

It has not proved possible to respond to this question in the time available before Prorogation. Ministers will correspond directly with the Member.
