Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will publish a breakdown by nationality of the (a) total and (b) average amount households received in (i) total cash benefits, (ii) tax credits, (iii) income related benefit and (iv) non-income related benefit in each year since 2010.

The information requested is not currently available.

Tax credits are administered by HMRC, therefore any request for data on the nationality of those claiming these benefits would need to be directed to HMRC.
