And the stats present restoration charges have tumbled.

Of the £239,100 "overpayments" in 2022/23, £33,500 — 14 per cent — was returned.

However in 2019/20, officials clawed again £101,900 from overpayments of £344,800 — a 30 per cent return.

And in the 11 months since last April, solely £6,000 of £115,000 paid has been reclaimed — 5.2 per cent.

John O'Connell, of the TaxPayers' Alliance, stated: "Taxpayers shall be furious about these bungled benefits payments."

The DWP stated: "Fraud and error in the system stays low, over 95 per cent of ­benefits are paid appropriately.

"The amount overpaid to prisoners is a tiny fraction, representing 0.0001 per cent of profit spend."
