To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many unemployed people are (a) not in receipt of any of the benefits to which they are entitled and (b) not registered at job centres.

The number of unemployed people is measured by the Labour Force Survey (LFS). The LFS is not able to identify these groups separately. Statistics on registrations are no longer collected as unemployed people are not required to register at a Jobcentre.
