It removes the right for that demographic to qualify for state housing unless they can support themselves.On a side noteI find it ironic that it will be easier to stop that group getting state housing than it will to stop migrants getting the same when neither have payed into the system.

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?

I didn't say it would lead to a reduction in child birth in that category,i said that young girls already use childbirth to get state housing in reply to your assertion that it will lead to a boom in childbirth as people seek to get state housing.
