Proceeding contribution from Steve Webb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 March 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Housing Benefit.
Housing Benefit
As the hon. Lady knows, a lot depends on who takes those tenancies. If they are people who would have been in lower-rent social tenancies, the housing benefit costs will be higher, but if they are people who would have been renting in the free-market private sector, the costs could end up being lower. The numbers that she quotes are spurious.
