Proceeding contribution from Frank Dobson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

Will my right hon. Friend take at least a minute or two to try to get across to Government Members that housing benefit is not kept in people's handbags or wallets? It is paid out to grasping private landlords, and until we do something about those landlords, the housing benefit bill will continue to soar.
