Mr. John McKeon:
It has been reducing on an ongoing basis for the last ten years. Many people who were previously rent supplement clients are now moving over to the household accommodation payment with local authorities. We pay rent supplement for short-term unemployed people. As the number of people on the live register falls, the number of short-term unemployed people falls and people who are long-term unemployed move on to the household accommodation payment.
