Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to universal credit claimants who have deductions in their standard allowance in Part 4 of their monthly award letters, excluding managed payments to landlords, how many and what proportion of claimants of monthly awards for universal credit have had greater than 40 per cent of the standard allowance taken in deductions and recoveries during the last 12 months for which information is available.
