Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing a reduced fee for identification cards for EEA nationals in cases where a benefit claimant needs ID to apply for Universal credit but has no passport or driving license.

No such assessment is necessary. With the exception of people from the Common Travel Area, an EEA national would have a passport in order to gain entry to the United Kingdom.
