Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he is taking to help young people in supported accommodation in North Shropshire constituency increase their (a) working income and (b) financial security.

It remains the department’s priority to ensure that those who can work are supported to enter the labour market and to sustain employment.

We are considering options to improve work incentives for residents of supported housing and temporary accommodation, while taking into account the views of stakeholders.
