Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform Bill.
Before the Secretary of State leaves the benefit cap, let me say that I understand the reason for a national benefit cap. Does he accept, however, that colleagues across the House are concerned that in London, because of the cost of housing, there is a special issue that deserves further debate? I wonder whether he would be willing to meet colleagues from all parties, local government, the Mayor, housing providers and the Housing Minister so that we can get the problem sorted for all those with an interest in London.
