Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will make an assessment of the implications for his policies of the findings of the report by UK Churches, Time to Rethink Benefit Sanctions, published in March 2015, on waiting periods for hardship payments and sanctions on claimants with children and for claimants with mental ill health.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 5 June 2015 to Question UIN 170
