But then what would all the massive families who have £3million houses in Primrose Hill do?

weell, they will have to move to somewhere more affordable wont they?? i'm pretty much out of date on private rents, we're HA tenants, our rent on a 2 bed semi is under £80 per week.

But that, Sir, would be an affront to their human rights! You can' expect the poor immigrant family to move from a multi-million pound house, to a 3 bed semi in Doncaster. How very dare you

how many are there in these £3.000.000 homes that all them people are in think its one or two not hundreds!!

You'd be surprised. There's a couple of well known muslim families who have multi-million pound houses in central london, provided by the tax payer. There are more than you think. The £3 million figure was just plucked out of my head. But whether it's 1 or 1000 families, if you're not paying for it yourself you should be living in the cheapest accommodation that can be found for you, not in some swanky pad in one of the countries most desirable (to some) location.

It is based on average rents in your local authority. As you said, under 35, you are only entitled to what the average rent it for a room in shared accommodation if you are single and no kids.

When the more rent for extra bed room thing comes in, those on housing benefit to which it applies will have there benefit reduced. Only right too, when you are getting support from the state it should be the absolute bare minimum paid out for the needs.

Right, so because I can't give you an exact figure then it's a non issue?

1 is enough in my books. You obviously read from a different page

Only way to really find out would be a FOI request to the councils involved. Then you're probably never get an actual answer - they can fob you off with a multitude of excuses.
