Written Question
Social Rented Housing: Unemployed People
Monday 9th March 2015

Asked by: Andrew Jones (Conservative - Harrogate and Knaresborough)

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate his Department has made of the number of workless households in social housing.

Answered by Lord Harper

The latest available data shows that there were 1.4 million workless households in the social rented sector. This is a reduction of 102,000 from the previous year and follows a continual downward trend over this Parliament.

This is the largest fall in the percentage of workless households in the social rented sector since comparable records began.
