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


Social Housing in London

I want to follow up the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Eltham (Clive Efford). I was recounting the figures earlier; there are at least three London boroughs in which the 80% rule on rent levels is higher than the average income of people in work and who live in council housing association properties. There will be 100% social cleansing of Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster and perhaps some other boroughs as well. I am talking about people in work, not on benefits.
