Question

Neil Duncan-Jordan

Labour — Poole

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many agricultural workers are claiming Universal Credit.

Answer

Sir Stephen Timms

The requested information is not held. We do not systematically collect data on the employment sector background of Universal Credit (UC) claimants because this does not affect entitlement to UC.
