answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2021 answer text <p>In April 2020 Local Housing Allowance rates were increased to the 30th percentile of local rents. This investment of nearly £1 billion provided 1.5 million claimants with an average £600 more housing support in 2020/21 than they would otherwise have received.</p><p> </p><p>LHA rates have been maintained at the same cash level for 2021/22 rather than reverting to previous rates which were much less generous. This provides a reasonable amount of support and ensures that all claimants who benefitted from the increased levels of housing support will continue to do so.</p><p> </p><p>For those who require additional support with housing costs Discretionary Housing Payments (DHP) are available. Since 2011 we have provided over £1 billion in DHP funding. We have allocated a further £140 million for Discretionary Housing Payments for 2021/22 in England and Wales.</p> answering member printed Baroness Stedman-Scott question first answered 29/06/2021 13:16:34 answering member 4174 label Biography information for Baroness Stedman-Scott

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they plan to take to deliver on the international agreement on global tax reform agreed by the G7 on 5 June.
tabling member printed	Viscount Waverley
uin	HL1277
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2021 answer text The Government is delighted that the G7 has, under the UK’s Presidency, reached an agreement on how the international tax framework should be reformed in response to the challenges created by globalisation and digitisation. These reforms would involve two pillars; changing where multinational group profits are taxed as well as requiring a minimum level of tax to be paid on profits in each jurisdiction. The Government believes that the G7 agreement provides the basis for a more comprehensive agreement at the level of the G20 and the 139 members of the OECD Inclusive Framework, and is working actively and constructively with other countries to support this aim. answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 29/06/2021 16:18:06 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
