Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 December 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pre-Budget Report.
Pre-Budget Report
I note that the Chancellor's statement included the welcome reference to the fact that anyone who moves off benefits into work will not be worse off. Will he please explain how that will affect people who live in expensive private rented accommodation and receive housing benefit at the moment, but lose all or most of their housing benefit on going into work and thus end up considerably worse off and, in extreme cases, can even be rendered homeless as a result?
