Proceeding contribution from Helen Goodman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 December 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Benefits Uprating.
Benefits Uprating
The Minister made much of his belief that CPI protects the standard of living of pensioners, but on Friday an old-age pensioner came to see me and pointed out that the Department for Communities and Local Government target for rents in the social sector is linked to RPI. Does not that display the fact that the problem Ministers have is that they assume that everyone is like them and is an owner-occupier?
