Child Benefit: Migrants
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of how many individuals are currently claiming child benefits due to an exemption to no recourse to public funds status.
- Answer
-
The information required to inform an estimate is not held in a readily available form. Producing an estimate would require detailed manual examination of a very large number of individual Child Benefit claims, which could only be done at disproportionate cost.
