<p>The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions has regular dialogue with other Secretary
of States in the course of normal ministerial business, which includes discussion
surrounding aspects of Universal Credit.</p><p /><p>The Department maintains guidance
on GOV.UK, relevant for private and social sector landlords, with information about
Universal Credit. This helps landlords to understand what they can do to help their
tenants prepare for: a) their move to Universal Credit and b) making payments of their
housing costs (rent) direct to their landlord themselves. This can be accessed at:</p><p>

rent to tenants who receive universal credit because of their landlord insurance policies.</p>
