Proceeding contribution from Stephen Pound (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 November 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Housing Benefit (West Ham).
Housing Benefit (West Ham)
I am reluctant to interrupt my hon. Friend because she is making an extremely powerful case, but is she as nauseated as I am by the use of the word ““customer”” in that context? A ““customer”” is a person who makes a decision on alternatives in a market economy, so are recipients of housing benefit—those human beings—to be denigrated as ““customers””?
