There was necessary move and building works to relocate the Department from Eland House to 2 Marsham Street. This will reduce the Department's running costs by £9 million a year from 2015-16, and save taxpayers £220 million over the lifetime of the building's lease commitments. There are 4.6 million households in England who are in receipt of local council tax support, as of October 2014.<\/p> <\/p> Housing benefit statistics are produced by the Department for Work and Pensions, and can be found online at:<\/p> <\/p> https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/number-of-housing-benefit-claimants-and-average-weekly-spare-room-subsidy-amount-withdrawal<\/a><\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
