Closed Reconsider the decision to remove housing benefit for young people (18 - 21)

Closed on

More jobless young people could be made to live on the streets as the Government moves ahead with plans to end housing support payments for under-21s.

On Friday officials published secondary legislation to go ahead with the plans, while most MPs were at home in their constituencies.
