Rejected petition stop the government from tax bedroom

More details

Withdrawing housing benefit from social housing tenants with unoccupied bedrooms will hit the poor, the vulnerable and the disabled hardest. We support the Sunday People's campaign calling on the Government to increase central funding for the discretionary housing allowance so those unable to pay the bedroom tax do not become homeless.
