Petition Stop paying for excessive housing for larger families

More details

Benefits claimants should not get larger houses just because they have more children.
If claimants have more children than bedrooms in their house then some of them should share a room. It is not a human right that they should be re-homed. If a taxpayer was in that situation they would have to make the best of the room they could afford.
We should not be encouraging people who are unable/unwilling to financially support more children to breed irresponsibly.
