To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many benefit-capped households there were in Ellesmere Port and Neston constituency in each financial year from 2019 to 2021.

The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

The available information on the number of households, receiving Housing Benefit or Universal Credit, who were subject to the Benefit Cap, by month and Parliamentary Constituency, is published every three months and can be found at:
