Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the answer of 16 October 2026 to Question 32857 on European Social Fund, what was the administrative cost of issuing the financial correction of £0.01 to Shepway District Council.

The financial correction was not issued to Shepway District Council. The £0.01 amount was written off because the administrative cost of recovery by demand note would have exceeded the amount concerned.

The Department does not hold a separately identifiable administrative cost for recording this individual correction and write-off.
