Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by John Leech (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Thursday, 27 November 2014 on behalf of the Women and Equalities.
Under-occupancy Penalty (Disabled People)
- Question
-
I was going to ask exactly the same question as the hon. Member for Kettering (Mr Hollobone). Will the Minister name and shame all local authorities that are failing to provide discretionary housing benefit for people who are being penalised as a result of their disability?
- Answer
-
We do have records of the amount of money that the Government make available to local authorities. In the interests of transparency, I will put in the Library details of the money made available by the Government and the extent to which local authorities take up that generous allocation of funding.
