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

Again, I suspect that the group of people that the Minister is talking about were already in that shared accommodation, which illustrates that people do not like to move house because of the upheaval involved. It also illustrates that not everybody is out to milk the system and receive the maximum amount of housing benefit. It does not illustrate at all what the Minister said it illustrated.
