Margaret Moran:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many Asian men were on benefits in (a) the UK and (b) Luton over the last five years; and what proportion of (i) male and (ii) all benefit claimants this represents over the same period. [131976]
Mr. Plaskitt:
A breakdown of benefit claimants by ethnicity is only available for jobseekers allowance. The available information is in the tables.
