§ Mr. Chris SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what guidance he has issued to local authorities about the form in which they record expenses arising from their responsibilities to asylum seekers following the implementation of new regulations on 5 February. [19613]
§ Mr. CurryI have been asked to reply.
An official in my Department wrote to all directors of housing in English local authorities on 12 February to advise them about information that they could collect. I am placing a copy of that letter in the Library of the House.
