Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate she has made of the savings to be accrued to the public purse from the replacement of working tax credits with universal credit for new claimants in each of the next five years.
It is not possible to separate out Working Tax Credits from savings accrued from all the legacy benefits that Universal Credit replaces. The overall impact on the public purse is set out in the answer to Question 156437 on 26 June 2018.
