Proceeding contribution from Glenda Jackson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 March 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Housing Benefit.

Housing Benefit

I have received a briefing from the Residential Landlords Association on that precise point. It says that in relation to a survey it conducted:"““71% of respondents said that they would not decrease their rents. A recent study for the British Property Federation put this figure at 88%. Although the Government's whole case is based on the assumption that this will happen our survey evidence (along with that carried out by the Local Government Association in London) contradicts this.””"
