Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the average waiting time for an Employment and Support Allowance assessment has been in (a) St Helens North constituency, (b) the North West and (c) the UK since the instigation of those assessments.
Official statistics for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) processing times are not readily available and to provide the information requested would incur disproportionate cost.
