John Healey: To
ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many claimants he
estimates will be affected by the removal of the housing costs
element of universal credit from 18 to 21-year-olds in each local authority
area; what the estimated savings will be of that removal in each of those
areas; and if he will place in the Library the working and modelling on which
those estimates are based.
Caroline Nokes: The Department expects that around 10,000
people would be affected, saving an estimated £95 million over the course of the
current Parliament. The Department does not hold a breakdown for each local
authority area.
