PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Universal Credit (14 October 2024)
Question Asked
Asked by:
Mrs Sarah Russell (Labour)
Answer
There is no plan to assess the potential impact of the Minimum Income Floor specifically for self-employed childminders on Universal Credit.
The department does not systematically collect data about the sector self-employed customers work in. Universal Credit treats all forms and sectors of self-employment in the same way, focusing on the level of the customer’s earnings rather than the sector. There is no link between the sector that a customer works in and the level of their Minimum Income Floor.
