The Department confirmed on 30 April that it is now in discussion with relevant Local Authorities in the North West on the detailed planning to make that happen.</p><p> </p><p>As with Jobseeker's Allowance, the Department does not hold forecasts of UC claimant numbers split by both borough, and then by marital status within that borough. Claimant numbers at this degree of detail will be influenced by a range of factors; these include likely local demographics and likely economic conditions within each borough. It is not possible to combine these in any meaningful way, and any such estimates might prove to be unreliable.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wirral West answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey previous answer version 8277 answering member constituency Wirral West answering member printed Esther McVey answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
