Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, in the last 12 months for which data is available, what was the average monthly deduction taken from Universal Credit payments specifically for Council Tax purposes.
Tables 1 & 2, in the attached spreadsheet, provide figures for the average monthly third-party deduction and the average monthly council tax deduction for the period December-21 to November-22.
Data for the ten largest monthly deductions taken from Universal Credit payments is not readily available and to provide this would incur disproportionate cost.
