Re: Low income exodus from London
From the OPs link
Quote:
Responding to reports of a possible exodus, a Government spokesman said: "There is no evidence of these claims.
"Some private landlords target those on Housing Benefit because they can command higher rents from tenants causing a knock-on effect on rents in the area.
"The current way that it is administered is unfair. It's not right that some families on benefits have been able to live in homes that most working families could not afford.
"However, we are absolutely committed to supporting the most vulnerable families and have tripled our Discretionary Housing Payments to provide a safety net for those who need it."
