Proceeding contribution from Chris Huhne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill [Lords].
Energy Bill [Lords]
We have discussed this with the DWP, and that would certainly be one route down which we could go. There would be dangers in doing so, however, not least because some of those on housing benefit find it hard to get into privately rented property. The simpler route that I have suggested will have a clear and predictable effect and will touch more than 680,000 homes in the private rented sector that are currently rated F and G. This is a substantial move.
