The information for Glasgow East is not readily available and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

HMRC published Child Benefit, Child Tax Credit (CTC) and Working Tax Credit (WTC) take up rates 2014 to 2015 on 14th December 2016. This publication is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/child-benefit-child-tax-credit-ctc-and-working-tax-credit-wtc-take-up-rates-2014-to-2015

Table 9 (page 21) provides information on the CTC take up by region, but not parliamentary constituency. This table includes estimates of the number of entitled non-recipients, and are given as central estimates with upper and lower bounds. There is no equivalent table for WTC.
