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 claimants who will be affected by the Government's change of policy of switching support for mortgage interest to loan payments from April 2018.

I refer the Hon. Member to the answer I gave on 13 September 2017 to Question 9506 (http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2017-09-07/9506/).
