The proportion of these exempt through being in work for at least the last six months has been estimated using the Family Resources Survey. The proportion exempt because they are vulnerable and/or unable to return to the parental home has been estimated using DWP administrative data on the proportion living in the Social Rented Sector.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 13/03/2017 13:39:02 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
