  • Impact of Housing Related Welfare Reforms (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 13 March 2013
    Can we look at the cost. We all understand the principles of trying to help people that are truly in need but it is right, is it not, that Housing Benefit costs have gone up by £10 billion since the beginning of the decade? It was about £11 billion in 2000/01 and it is now £21 billion, and if it were to go on then it would be £25 billion in the coming year if the reforms were not brought in. Jules Pipe, do you want to comment on that?
