Set out DWP's role in rent settlement discussions and expected impact on housing benefit costs.
Recommendation
The Government should set out in its response to this report what role the Department for Work and Pensions will have in future discussions about rent settlements. When a rent settlement is agreed, the Government should write to us to inform us what impact it expects the change in rent to have on housing benefit costs. (Paragraph 82) New financing models
