Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform Bill.
I am grateful to Ministers for their engagement on this difficult but important issue. With reference to families who cannot find suitable alternative smaller accommodation but are in the categories that the Government have wisely exempted from the benefit cap, will the Minister explain to me why they should be penalised and where they will find the money to meet the extra bill—potentially £750 a year?
