Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 4 June 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how much was given by his Department to each English local authority for council tax support budgets in 2011-12.
I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.
Prior to the cessation of council tax benefit from April 2013, the Department for Work and Pensions provided each local authority in England, Scotland and Wales with a contribution towards its costs for administering both housing and council tax benefits. This Administration Subsidy was a combined funding stream and it is not possible to separate out a specific amount purely relating to processing council tax benefits as the majority of such work was done holistically as part of a joint claim with housing benefit.
A table showing a breakdown of the Administration Subsidy provided to each local authority in England in 2011-12 will be placed in the Library.
