To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many individuals that have migrated from Employment Support Allowance to Universal Credit in the last 12 months have had the amount of council tax support they receive reduced.

Answer

Sir Stephen Timms
The Department does not administer the Council Tax Reduction scheme and therefore does not hold the data required to answer this question.
