answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2020 answer text <p>The Department does not centrally collect data for claimants who are serving a custodial sentence, or who are remanded in prison and in receipt of housing benefit, or the housing element of Universal Credit. To provide this would incur a disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>The written answer of 6th August (HL7232) explained that the Department is routinely notified by Prison Services across England, Wales and Scotland when offenders enter custody, including those on remand. For those who exceed the time limits for retaining housing costs support whilst remaining detained on remand, the specialist teams referred to previously ensure that the appropriate action is taken. The Department has no plans to extend the time limits for retaining housing costs support.</p> answering member printed Baroness Stedman-Scott question first answered 16/09/2020 16:34:58 answering member 4174 label Biography information for Baroness Stedman-Scott
