Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what discussions she has had with housing associations in (a) Glasgow South West constituency and (b) Glasgow on access to information by those associations from the Landlord Portal for universal credit claimants; and if she will make a statement.

In Glasgow and the surrounding area, Universal Credit Account Managers have engaged extensively with the Wheatley Group and enrolled six of their landlords onto the Landlord Portal: Loretto Housing, Glasgow Housing Association, Cube Housing Association, Dunedin Canmore, Barony Housing Association, and, West Lothian Housing Partnership.

We are continuing in our efforts to identify and enrol suitable landlords onto the portal between now and December 2018.
