Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities for a breakdown of the number of people who have the housing benefit element of Universal Credit paid directly to their landlord, in each year from 2017.

Answer:

The member can find detailed official statistics on Universal Credit, including information on housing payments publically available on my Department's website at:

https://www.communities-ni.gov.uk/publications/universal-credit-statistics-may-2020

The Universal Credit statistics supplementary tables 3a to 3d contain information related to housing within households and a breakdown between social and rented sector.
