Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on Comprehensive Spending Review.


Comprehensive Spending Review

The Leader of the House will confirm that at business questions today, I quoted the Mayor of London on the reduction of housing benefit, which he described as ““Kosovo-style social cleansing.”” Since then, he has said:"““I do not agree with the wild accusations that reform will lead to social cleansing.””" Why has he changed his mind in the six hours between now and then? Is it by any chance anything to do with a call from No. 10 Downing street?
