Jake Berry – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Work and Pensions

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jake Berry on 2014-04-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people normally resident in Rossendale and Darwen constituency were prosecuted for offences relating to fraudulent claims for jobseeker’s allowance in each of the last five years.

Esther McVey

The information requested is not readily available because the data is not collated in a format for Rossendale and Darwen Constituency only. This information could only be provided by examining individual investigation files which would incur disproportionate cost.
