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

Housing Benefit

I am grateful to the Minister for allowing me to interrupt him again. In many parts of the country, the shortfall will be relatively manageable, which would accommodate his point about people being temporarily out of work. In London and some other high-cost areas, however, the difference could be £5,000 or more over three months. In those areas, the shortfall will be such that people who lose their jobs will also lose their homes.
