Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how much funding her Departments has allocated to universal credit hardship payments.
As Universal Credit hardship payments are included in Annually Managed Expenditure there is no separate funding allocated to them.
The information requested about the number of claims to hardship in the Glasgow South constituency is not readily available and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
