Steve Webb and the Bedroom Tax

Steve Webb MP,
Liberal Democrat Minister,
DWP

Whilst I was in Glasgow I heard you and Nick both defend the so called ‘bedroom tax’. I agreed totally with your arguments about the principle of this. Why should the tax payer pay to rent surplus accommodation? You may be surprised to know that many hundreds of thousands of tenants also agree with this. They would love to move to a smaller, cheaper, more cost effective house and would do so tomorrow if there was one within their neighbourhood. The problem is however, that there aren’t any!”
