Welfare Reform Bill

The record will show that I said that certain groups of claimants are excluded from local housing allowance and pathfinder schemes and that we will replicate that provision at the national roll-out. I want to clarify what I said about charities. Claimants will be exempt from local housing allowance schemes only if care and support or supervision is provided by the charity; that replicates exactly the pathfinder position. I thank the Committee for its indulgence.
