Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people in each parliamentary constituency in Scotland receive support for mortgage interest; and how many of those people also receive (a) employment support allowance, (b) personal independence payments and (c) jobseeker’s allowance.

The Department does not hold the data requested. The data needed to make robust estimates of the number of recipients of Support for Mortgage Interest (SMI) at geographies smaller than Government Office Region is not available to Departmental analysts.
