Chris Bryant: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and
Pensions how many people in receipt of housing benefit have moved to smaller
properties since the introduction of the under-occupancy penalty in (a) 2014 to
date and (b) 2013.
Esther McVey: The information requested as to how many
people have moved to smaller properties is not available. However this week the
Department will be publishing a statistical analysis of changes in numbers
subject to a reduction in housing benefit award as a result of the removal of
the spare room subsidy.
