This would mean that there would be differences in treatment between male same sex couples and female same sex couples.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2015 answer text <p /> <p>To prevent young people slipping straight into a life on benefits, from April 2017 the Government will remove the automatic entitlement to housing support for new claims in Universal Credit from 18-21 year olds who are out of work. This will ensure young people in the benefits system face the same choices as young people who work and who may not be able to afford to leave home.</p><p> </p><p>We will ensure that vulnerable young people who are in need of support for their housing needs continue to receive it. Government will consider the impact in line with our legal obligations as part of that process.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 07/09/2015 14:57:23 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
