Proceeding contribution from Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 January 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform Green Paper.


Welfare Reform Green Paper

The education maintenance allowance has, I hope, been an important contribution to securing what my hon. Friend is concerned about. The chapter in the Green Paper dealing with the reform of housing benefit makes it clear that the local housing allowance that we propose to replace housing benefit in the private rented sector will be available for new claimants. People who are currently claiming housing benefit will stay under the existing rules.
