Notwithstanding the fact that the manifesto hasn't been written / published as yet I'm sure you are well aware that manifesto pledges frequently never materialize.

So what is the supposed point of the policy not applying to people with children? If access to housing benefit in the 16-21 year old age group becomes essentially dependant on whether or not they have children what exactly is it about this supposed manifesto policy that fills you with such confidence that there will be a reduction in child birth in that age category and, consequently, a reduction in demand for / entitlement to Housing Benefit for that particular social demographic?
