Sentencers should therefore have the option of imposing a short custodial sentence, where appropriate and necessary. However, custody should always be a last resort. If we are able to break the cycle of reoffending, solutions will often lie in robust and effective community sentences, which we are legislating to strengthen.</p><p> </p><p>On arrival in custody, urgent housing needs are identified and support provided to maintain a tenancy or other housing, where appropriate and possible.</p><p> </p><p>For individuals in custody for short periods of time it is possible to continue to receive the housing element of Universal Credit for up to six months if they are expected to spend less than six months in prison and were receiving the housing element prior to entering custody. If receiving Housing Benefit rather than Universal Credit, payments may continue if an individual is held on remand in custody for less than 52 weeks, or likely to be in prison for less than 13 weeks (sentenced or remand).</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 28/02/2022 17:46:50 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
