Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will publish a sectoral breakdown of the industries in which people his Department deems gainfully self-employed work.
This question was answered on 8th March 2023
The Department does not routinely collect data on the sectors in which Universal Credit claimants work, including self-employed work, because this does not affect entitlement to UC. However, we are currently exploring what additional information we could collect to help work coaches support claimants in their search for work.
