Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what assessment his Department has made of the consequences for his Department's policies of the Supreme Court judgement of 13 May 2015 on Kanu v. London Borough of Southwark.

We welcomed the judgement in Kanu v London Borough of Southwark.

We maintain a constant dialogue with local authorities on matters that could affect them and their ability to help vulnerable people.
