I'm very glad to see that you're supporting the issuing of the guidance. Today isn't actually about the quantum that we're putting into the support grant; it is around whether the guidance is the right guidance and whether it will achieve the right results.

I don't disagree, of course, that we would like to put more money into the housing support grant. There are quite a lot of areas where we'd like to put more money in, but we have to take it from somewhere in order to do that. We've just delivered the best local government settlement in nine years. This money also goes to local government, so trying to ensure that the services are holistically supported is very important.

It's also very important to make sure that the public service sector is joined up together. So, the example that you've just read out is a very good one, because you would need a whole series of public services to work together to be able to achieve that. That's very much what this grant and its guidance is about.

So, this guidance is about local authorities having a homelessness prevention strategy that encompasses all of the public services necessary to come together to do that, and that includes disability services and housing services, obviously, but also mental health strategies, substance abuse strategies and benefits advice and guidance. We also put a lot of money into our benefit advice—I can't remember what it's called; the single advice fund, isn't it—in order to do that as well. But we're fighting a rising tide, I'm afraid, because of the way that universal credit is being rolled out, and I know that we don't disagree about that either.

What I hope this guidance will do is put local authorities into the very best possible position to make the most of what money they have got. Of course, depending on what the UK Government does in terms of its budget, if there is more money then I will certainly be putting my hat into the ring very firmly in order to get it.
