Temporary Accommodation: Housing Benefit
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government on uprating temporary accommodation subsidy rates.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
We continue to keep the rates used for Housing Benefit subsidy under review and work closely with MHCLG and the Inter-Ministerial Group on Homelessness and Rough Sleeping.
The Government will prioritise the best way to achieve its mission and goals within the current challenging fiscal situation at the appropriate fiscal event.
