Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of families affected by the benefit cap placed in (a) temporary accommodation by a local authority and (b) other accommodation have moved into work.

Data on the proportion of families affected by the benefit cap placed in (a) temporary accommodation by a local authority who have moved into work is not available and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
