Proceeding contribution from Lynne Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

I do not think that the Minister’s proposals will deal with the problem that I identified when I chaired the Birmingham bond scheme—that is, landlords’ reluctance to provide shared accommodation for non-student tenants, whether or not they possess the rent. Landlords are unwilling to provide accommodation for people sharing communal areas, whereas they are willing to provide one-bedroom self-contained accommodation.
