Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 March 2026
Debate
Rent Officers (Housing Benefit and Universal Credit Functions) (Modification) Order 2026Contribution
I genuinely believe that the sensible course is clear: stop the freeze permanently and relink local housing allowances to real rents so that the system works as was intended and homelessness is prevented rather than paid for. I think there is a moral case but I also believe there is a fiscal one. I beg to move.
