Treasury written question – answered at on 20 February 2026.
Baroness Maclean of Redditch
The Minister of State, Home Department
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.
Lord Livermore
The Financial Secretary to the Treasury
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.
