Baroness Turner of Camden
My Lords, I thank the Minister for that response. However, is he aware that more than 600,000 households could be affected by this change in benefits, that many people who are unable to meet the requirements under the new benefit arrangements will have no alternative but to get into arrears, and that, if they get into arrears, they will face eviction, which will result in homelessness, despite what the noble Minister has said?
Baroness Turner of Camden
What steps are the Government taking to try to deal with the consequences arising from these new arrangements in regard to housing benefit cuts?
