Esther McVey: Full benefit cap statistics for November 2014 can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/benefit-cap-number- of-households-capped-to-november-2014 These statistics do not contain benefit type information. However, all capped households included in the official statistics are in receipt of Housing Benefit. At November 2014 (the latest available data) 24,252 households are...
Chris Grayling: We estimate that the benefit cap will save £225 million in 2013-14 and £270 million in 2014-15 if it is introduced as announced in the 2010 spending review. Analysis of the benefit cap is based on a very small sample using survey data, so any assessment of options to exempt certain categories of income or groups from the benefit cap is subject to significant uncertainty. Estimates suggest...

Chris Grayling: The spending review 2010 announced that from 2013 we will introduce a cap on the total amount of benefit that working-age people can receive so that households on out-of-work benefits will no longer receive more in welfare payments than the average weekly wage for working households. The benefit cap is intended to promote fairness between those in and out of work and to increase incentives...
Lord Freud: My Lords, Amendment 25 seeks to remove child benefit and child tax credit from the list of those benefits included within the benefit cap, so that they are disregarded when calculating the total amount of benefits that a household can receive before the cap is applied. This amendment undermines the fundamental principle that we established when we introduced the cap: that there has to be a...
Esther McVey: The number of households subject to the benefit cap by (a) Parliamentary Constituency and (b) Local Authority is published quarterly through Stat-Xplore, the Department’s online interactive tabulation tool. The latest data, showing the total number of households capped from 15 April 2013, when the benefit cap was introduced, to August 2014, can be found in Table 1 of the data tables...
the Bishop of Ripon and Leeds: Thank you very much. The answer to that question is £113 million, which is a minute proportion of the total cost of welfare benefit addressed in the Bill. This cap is not simply targeted at wealthy families living in large houses. It will damage those who have to pay high rents, because often that rent has increased substantially in the course of occupancy of that house. An out-of-work...
Baroness Buscombe: Households can have their benefits capped either under Housing Benefit, or under Universal Credit, and the latest statistics were published in February 2019, covering households capped to November 2018. Point-in-time caseload: Number of households capped by family type at November 2018, GB Total Single, no child dependant Single, with child dependant(s) Couple, no child dependant...
Chris Grayling: ...Great Britain. £26,000 a year is equivalent to £500 a week. Latest estimates show that in 2010-11 there are fewer than 25,000 working age households in receipt of more than £500 a week in all benefits and tax credits, excluding disability living allowance and child benefit. The Chancellor's announcement of a benefit cap was informed by high-level consideration of the broad impacts when...
Chris Grayling: We estimate that 50,000 households will be affected by the benefit cap if it is introduced as announced in the spending review. We are looking at ways of easing the transition for families and providing assistance in hard cases. Analysis of the benefit cap is based on a very small sample using survey data, therefore any assessment of options to exempt certain categories of income or groups...
Lord Freud: On its introduction we estimate that household benefit payments will be capped at around £500 per week for couple and lone parent households and around £350 per week for single adult households. We estimate that 50,000 households will be affected by the benefit cap. The median level of child benefit received by couples with children and lone parents with median earnings is estimated to be...
Hannah Bardell: With our amendments in this group, we hope to remove some of the most vulnerable groups that will be included in this benefit cap: people on bereavement allowance; people on carer’s allowance; people on child benefit and child tax credit; people on guardian’s allowance; people on maternity allowance; and people on severe disablement allowance. All those people should be excluded from the...
Baroness Buscombe: The table below shows the number of households with three or more children that had their Housing Benefit capped at each month since April 2017 by family type and number of children, for lone parent families and two-parent families. The information requested on the number of families with three or more children that have been affected by the benefit cap in each month since April 2017 with...
Kit Malthouse: The exclusion of child related benefits would undermine one of the key drivers for introducing the benefit cap that ultimately, there has to be a limit to the overall amount of financial support that households in receipt of out of work benefits can expect to receive in welfare payments. Child related benefits including Child Benefit, like other welfare benefits, are provided by the state and...
Caroline Dinenage: The Department does not hold any projections of the number of children under the age of 5 affected by the benefit cap. To collate and add on the additional data for all children under 5 and quality assure the figures to answer this PQ would incur disproportionate cost. The Department published ad-hoc statistics in July 2017 which estimated that 56,000 households fall into the scope of the...
