Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to his Department's statistical release, entitled Benefit cap: number of households capped to February 2015, published on 14 May 2015, how many capped households which consist of a single parent with dependent children include at least one child aged (a) under three years and (b) between three and four years.

DWP statisticians are currently assessing the viability of publishing further age breakdowns for children in households subject to the benefit cap alongside suitable context and commentary. If the analyses prove to be sufficiently robust the results will be published at the earliest opportunity according to the Code of Practice for statistics.
