CPI currently has a much lower measure for housing. I will respond to her question—which I was about to come to—about the proportion. There will be roughly 8.8 million households on universal credit. Currently roughly 5 million households are on housing benefit. That is the proportion. However, I think it is probably safer for me to write to the noble Lady with precise figures, to allow her to do her own sums in this area.
