star this property answer text <p>In the financial year 2024-25 social housing tenants will face 52 weekly rent payment days so Universal Credit will make provision for the exact amount of their liability.</p><p> </p><p>Universal Credit always converts weekly amounts to monthly sums using 52 weeks. This may lead to a slight advantage to the claimant when converting weekly incomes and to a slight disadvantage when dealing with outgoings. The system is used because it is simple to operate and understand. The department has considered alternative options for those with weekly tenancies, but each have their own limitations and disadvantages for claimants and so there are no plans to change.</p><p> </p><p>The legitimacy of this calculation formula in Universal Credit was confirmed by the High Court in 2020 who found it to be neither irrational or discriminatory.</p><p> </p><p>Discretionary Housing Payments can be paid to those entitled to Housing Benefit or the housing element of Universal Credit who face a shortfall in meeting their housing costs. Since 2011, the government has provided nearly £1.7 billion in Discretionary Housing Payments to local authorities.</p>

The last three years of data held on the fleet wide average CO2 emissions of newly registered petrol and diesel cars in the UK shows an increase over time. Excluding zero emission vehicle registrations, the provisional average for new petrol cars only in 2020 was 140.0 grams of CO2 per kilometre, 143.3 grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2021 and 143.0 grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2022. The provisional average for new diesel cars only in 2020 was 153.8 grams of CO2 per kilometre, 161.0 grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2021 and 164.0 grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2022. When considering the overall fleet of new cars, including zero emission, the average CO2 intensity has decreased over the last three years. The provisional average for 2020 was 126.6 grams of CO2 per kilometre, 118.5 grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2021 and 110.8g grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2022.

We now intend to gather further evidence and re-consider all options in the 2022 consultation, including mandatory reporting, using the latest available data. We expect to make the decision later this year.</p><p> </p><p>Medium sized businesses (MSBs) are not under consideration for mandatory reporting approach.
