answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2019 answer text <p>The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost. The Department does collect information on advances paid and repayments for all advances through the Universal Credit award. However, each advance’s repayment progress would need to be tracked separately and a date in which repayment is completed would need to be calculated.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 08/07/2019 17:02:17 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
