To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many people employed on zero hours contracts received an incorrect payment of tax credits in (a) 2010-11, (b) 2011-12 and (c) 2012-13.
HM Revenue and Customs does not collect information on the type of work contract an individual claiming tax credits is under. It is the actual average hours worked that are material to entitlement. This information is therefore unavailable.
