Proceeding contribution from Hywel Williams (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 February 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security.


Social Security

That is a valid point. Of course, the variation across the country is quite substantial. I refer again to my own constituency, where there has traditionally always been a very high level of owner-occupation. There are older people who own their houses, but in other areas people are still paying off their mortgages. The figure of 7% has been mentioned—that is a lot of people who will be hit.
