The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what consideration was given in the Glasgow housing stock transfer proposal to any possibility that, under housing benefit regulations, the housing benefit of some elderly tenants would be reduced.
The answer
The Glasgow stock transfer consultation document made it clear that tenants eligibility to housing benefit would not be affected. No tenants in Glasgow have their housing benefit reduced as a direct result of the housing stock transfer.
