Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary list the dates of the meetings she has held with the UK Government to discuss increasing the Local Housing Allowance?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government
The Welsh Government continues to call for the restoration of Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rates to the 50th percentile (rather than the 30th percentile) and that rates are uplifted annually. I have also written to the UK Government on this issue, outlining the need for revised rental data to be used.
