Housing: Lettings

Baroness Hollis of Heigham Excerpts

Monday 26th July 2010 Lords Chamber

[Lord Sassoon]

My Lords, what I have said today represents the views of the coalition Government.

[Baroness Hollis of Heigham]

Following the question of the noble Lord, Lord Best, can the Minister inform the House what the cuts in housing benefit, particularly the cut after 12 months for those on JSA, will do to the private residential letting sector?

[Lord Sassoon]

My Lords, I am not sure that any assessment of that has been done, but I shall find out and write afterwards.
