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


Housing Benefit

I wonder whether, with my hon. Friend's experience as a local councillor, he has been able to quantify how much extra it may cost local councils to deal with the homelessness that will arise as a result of the Government's proposals, and, indeed, the increase—perhaps return—of the bed and breakfast, which will be the only alternative that many people will have, as a result of being forced out of their homes?
