Under-Occupancy Penalty (No. 3)

EDM number 1092 in 2013-14, proposed by George Galloway on 13/02/2014.
Categorised under the topic of Social rented housing.

That this House believes that the Government's so-called bedroom tax has been an unmitigated disaster; notes that according to the National Housing Federation two-thirds of households in England affected by it have fallen into rent arrears and one in seven families have received eviction risk letters; concurs with the Federation that the tax is heaping misery and hardship on already struggling families; points out that families struggling to pay rents are unable to find anywhere cheaper to live because of a shortage of smaller homes; concludes that this unfair tax on the most vulnerable should be abolished; and urges all hon. Members to support its repeal.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
