Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to his Department's guidance entitled Housing Loss Prevention Advice Service leaflet, published 30 August 2023, (a) how many physical copies of the leaflet have been distributed in England and Wales, (b) in which locations and (c) at what cost; and whether his Department has taken any other steps to disseminate copies of the leaflet through other channels.

The Housing Loss Prevention Advice Service (HLPAS) leaflet has been distributed digitally to government departments, local authorities, charities, and advice agencies. Physical copies have not been distributed at this time but the Ministry of Justice continues to monitor uptake of the HLPAS service and may consider interventions such as physical distribution if appropriate.

Notices and letters concerning possession proceedings which are distributed physically do reference HLPAS and signpost towards support.
