| Message | What do we define as "low-income"? Where is the cut-off point for families eligible for Social Housing? Will this have any effect on other benefits received? |
| Date | 18:39:21, May 07, 2012 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Housing Act 3300 |
| Message | The current definition for low income is those who pay more than 50% of their income on rent. Those in subsidised social housing will receive less state benefits in other areas, means-tested to ensure fairness. |
