Closed Public inquiry into the death of Stephanie Bottrill

Closed on

This petition is a call for the UK Government to launch a detailed public inquiry into the suicide of Stephanie Bottrill from Solihull, who took her own life because she could not afford to pay an extra £20 a week for two under-occupied bedrooms in her home.

In light of the fact that the 'bedroom tax' may drive people to suicide or other acts of self harm, this petition calls for the Government to repeal it with immediate effect.
