Request

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act.
I am seeking information about housing benefit payments where the claimant is living in a static caravan or park home.
Q1: Can you tell me how many of your housing benefit claimants live in this type of accommodation and how much the council paid out in housing benefit for their homes in each of the last five years?
Q2: Also how many housing benefit claimants did you have in total in each of these years - so I can understand the proportion that lived in static caravans/park homes?
Q3: Lastly, is it possible to also identify how much was paid (directly or indirectly) to each of the three landlords of this type of accommodation who received the largest sums?
If there is an issue with the time limit, please prioritise Qs 1 and 2.
