Proceeding contribution from Charlie Elphicke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
One concern that I have in my constituency is that many people live in overcrowded accommodation and have been waiting to get accommodation with the space that they need. Across the country there are 250,000 people in that position. Meanwhile there are empty-nesters rattling round in houses with spare rooms. Surely we should have an incentive for people with excess housing space to move out and enable overcrowded families to have the space that they need.
