Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, for what reason her Department has not granted the Scottish Government access to anonymised data on universal credit claims and sanctions histories for Scottish universal credit claimants; and when her Department plans to grant the Scottish Government access to that data.
The DWP has not received a request for this data by the Scottish Government. The Department considers each application for data sharing on its merits.
