Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate her Department has made of the number of agency and zero-hour workers who are enrolled on universal credit.
Universal Credit collects information on earnings drawn from the Her Majesty’s Revenue and Custom’s Real Time Information (RTI) system. The RTI system does not provide information on agency employment status, or type of work (for example the number of hours worked/contracted to work).
