Ms Harman: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and
Pensions
(1) what the minimum floor space is that can constitute a
bedroom for the purposes of the under-occupancy charge;
(2) whether a minimum
floor space applies to a bedroom for the purposes of the under occupancy
penalty.
Steve Webb: The removal of the spare room subsidy does not
apply a minimum floor space for bedrooms. It takes account of the number of
bedrooms, as designated by the landlord, and compares this with the composition
of the household to establish whether or not a reduction due to
under-occupation applies.
