Proceeding contribution from Lord Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 December 2014. It occurred during Opposition day on Housing Benefit (Abolition of Social Sector Size Criteria).
Housing Benefit (Abolition of Social Sector Size Criteria)
The discretionary housing payment guidance specifically makes provision for councils to make longer-term awards in cases in which it takes longer for people to adjust to the policy. My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer set out the extra money for DHP for the next financial year to give councils that financial certainty. We have indeed done what the hon. Lady said.
