answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>The Department does not separately track the cost of sanctioning and monitoring claimants. A decision to sanction a claimant forms only part of a number of different roles including monitoring and supporting into work and we do not separate the cost of those roles into sanction and non-sanction activity. Therefore we cannot provide a definitive cost for these activities for the last six months.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 19/07/2017 16:25:52 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
