Section 39(1) of the Welfare Reform Act (Northern Ireland) 2007 (“the Act”) provides that information relating to certain benefits may be supplied to certain persons for purposes connected with the application of grant paid under a “relevant statutory provision” towards expenditure related to welfare services. This Order provides that a relevant statutory provision is Article 4 of the Housing Support Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2002. That Article provides that the Northern Ireland Housing Executive may pay grants to eligible persons towards expenditure incurred by them in relation to housing support services.
