Proceeding contribution from Geraint Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 December 2014. It occurred during Opposition day on Housing Benefit (Abolition of Social Sector Size Criteria).
Housing Benefit (Abolition of Social Sector Size Criteria)
Given the predictability of this and the absence of small houses to move to, is it not obvious that the objective was simply to tax the poor for being poor? It has nothing to do with moving to smaller houses; it is about punishing people who are poor because of the bankers’ errors. There is no other rationale.
