Research Report No. 379
by Michael Wagstaff
This report presents findings of research undertaken by Spark Research on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions, to examine the way housing benefit rules operate for Gypsy and Traveller site rents in England, Scotland and Wales. The research also considers options for change.
The research was conducted between February and July 2005 and included case studies with 17 local authorities and a self-completion survey of all local authorities and agents that provide or manage sites.
