Proceeding contribution from Geraint Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 May 2014. It occurred during Adjournment debate and Debate on select committee report on Housing Benefit (Wales).
Housing Benefit (Wales)
Does the hon. Gentleman accept that 70% of the growth in housing benefit costs, which have doubled to about £20 billion in the past 10 years, is due to private sector rents and that the strategic response should be house building rather than clubbing the poor?
