To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will publish the advice provided to them as part of the statutory review of benefit cap levels.

Under S96A of the Welfare Reform Act 2012, the Secretary of State is required to undertake a review of the benefit cap levels at least once every five years. There is no statutory requirement to publish any advice given to inform that review; and as such there are no plans to do so. This has been the policy under this and previous Governments.
