Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 October 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Housing Benefit (Amendment) Regulations 2011.
Housing Benefit (Amendment) Regulations 2011
My Lords, I do not have that precise information to hand, but if I can find it I will make it available and write to the noble Baroness. I can say that, in 60 per cent of cases, two people claiming the shared accommodation rate would be more than the two-bedroom accommodation rate. There are many areas where sharing gets the group of people more money than if they formally join up as a couple and go for the same accommodation.
