From April 2016, the UK Government introduced new restrictions in respect of entitlements to housing benefit by removing the family premium for new births and new claims. These changes will not be implemented in respect of council tax reductions in Wales. As with the decisions to continue uprating working-age entitlements, this Welsh Government aims to protect applicants who have been affected by welfare reforms from any further cuts in income. Similarly, from April 2016, the backdating period for housing benefit applications was shortened to four weeks by the UK Government. We will not do that for council tax reduction schemes here in Wales. If we do not approve these regulations today, then those protections to some of the least well-off households in the whole of Wales will not be updated and carried forward, and I therefore ask Members to approve the regulations before them this afternoon.
