To ask the hon. Member for South West Devon, representing the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission, which local authority (a) augmented and (b) did not augment Department for Work and Pensions data matching with the electoral register with local authority data matching.
Gary Streeter
Conservative, South West Devon
The Electoral Commission informs me that 137 local authorities provided data to them on their local data matching activities following the trial of matching with the DWP in 2013. The following list shows these local authorities. Those that did not provide data may still have carried out local data matching work.
