Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many universal credit claims were subject to deductions in the most recent month for which data is available, broken down by parliamentary constituency; how much was the (1) total, and (2) average sum of, deductions in each constituency; what proportion of those sums was deducted to repay advance payments; and how many universal credit claimants were subject to deductions as a result of overpayments where the fault lay entirely with the relevant government department or agency.

I refer the Noble Peer to the answers I gave on the 3^rd and 6^th of March to questions HL5652 and HL5656.
