Local Government (Household Charge) Bill 2011: Committee Stage
4:00 pm
David Norris (Independent)
If one puts aside the question it was never occupied, I am not sure that in the current circumstances it could be argued that persons in affordable housing derived a profit. They did not. In fact, they received a financial disadvantage because they were seduced by advertising and by a campaign. I was well aware of it because I had a number of friends, and, in fact, I think a distant member of my family, who got affordable housing.
