Proceeding contribution from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 October 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate, Backbench debate and e-petition debate on The Riots.
The Riots
Does my right hon. Friend share my concern that, in some cases, councils have talked about using eviction laws to punish a whole family where just one person has been involved in rioting? One case, which was announced soon after the riots, involved a mother and her younger son being threatened with eviction because the 17-year-old son was involved in rioting some distance from the home. The mother and her younger son were entirely innocent, but the younger boy was going to be made homeless as a result of something his older brother had done.
