§ Earl Russellasked Her Majesty's Government:
How many people were excluded from the claimant court for unemployment during the past month as a result of benefit sanction. [HL872]
§ Baroness Hollis of HeighamThe information is not available. A benefit sanction does not automatically result in a person being excluded from the claimant count, and the database on which sanctions are recorded does not distinguish between those people who are excluded and those who are not.
