Proceeding contribution from Jane Ellison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 May 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on Social Housing in London.


Social Housing in London

We all accept that some of the exceptional cases that make the newspapers are just that. Nevertheless, at the general election the hon. Gentleman stood on a manifesto that made a commitment to look at and substantially reduce housing benefit. It was not just Conservatives who recognised that that was a problem; the hon. Gentleman's own party manifesto recognised that it was, too, and made a commitment to reduce the cost of housing benefit.
