Another Tory condemns the evil Bedroom Tax

Tory MP Anne McIntosh joins revolt against bedroom tax

ONE of the region’s Conservative MPs yesterday (Thursday, January 9) joined the revolt against the ‘bedroom tax’ – calling for an exemption for rural areas.

Anne McIntosh, the Thirsk and Malton, warned of a “chronic shortage” of smaller homes for people required to move, or be docked housing benefit.

And she criticised her own Government for arguing that people affected should work harder, or move to rented homes in the private sector instead.

Miss McIntosh, chairwoman of the Commons environment select committee, said its investigation found the need for an exemption for villages.

During a Commons debate, she told ministers: “In my area, there is a chronic shortage of one and two-bedroom homes.

When are these people in power going to 'get it'? Probably never and the sooner they are booted back to the opposition benches the better.

It's not just in her area is it, its in every area, rural or not.
