Ms Angela Eagle: To ask the Secretary of State for Work
and Pensions, what estimate he has made of the effect on funding for housing
benefit for residents in supported housing of capping that benefit in line with
local housing allowance levels from 2019-20.
Caroline Nokes: In his Written Ministerial Statement to
the House of Commons on 15th September 2016 the Secretary of State confirmed that the new
funding model will ensure that the supported housing sector will be funded at
the same level it would have otherwise been in 2019/20, taking into account the
effect of Government policy on social sector rents.
