    • Reference: 2013/4126
    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 20 November 2013
    In the first quarter of 2013/14, 259 households were moved out of London, an increase of 129% on the year before.

Is it not clear that you have severely underserved the city you represent by failing to get a deal from the government on welfare that genuinely works for Londoners on low incomes who keep this city functioning?
