Universal Credit

(asked on 16th June 2020) - View Source

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what proportion of Universal Credit recipients are subject to the (1) two-child benefit limit, and (2) benefit cap, broken down by ethnic group.


This question was answered on 7th July 2020

The Department cannot precisely quantify the proportion of households by ethnic group that are affected by these policies since recording of ethnicity on benefits administrative data is voluntary and, as such, not sufficiently reliable.
