(ii)          to request that updated figures on Free School meals be circulated to members as soon as possible; and

(iii)         to agree that the Convener would write to both the UK and Scottish Government, outlining any impact Universal Credit has had on tenants, and to send a copy of the letter to all members of the Committee for information. 

The Committee had before it a report by the Chief Officer – Early Intervention and Community Empowerment, which provided information on rent management and Universal Credit, one year after the implementation of Universal Credit full service. 

The report recommended:-

that the Committee note current rent management performance and support the Council’s focus on tenancy sustainment.

The Committee resolved:-

(i)            to approve the recommendation;

(ii)          to request that updated figures on Free School meals be circulated to members as soon as possible; and

(iii)         to agree that the Convener would write to both the UK and Scottish Government, outlining any impact Universal Credit has had on tenants, and to send a copy of the letter to all members of the Committee for information.
