Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how much revenue has been generated by (a) universal credit and (b) other benefit helplines in each of the last five years or for as long as they have been in operation if less than five years; and whether that revenue has been retained for use by his Department or made use of elsewhere in Government.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) does not make any profit from its 0345 telephone numbers.
