In the first quarter of 2013/14, 259 households were moved out of London, an increase of 129% on the year before. In my opinion, this will be just the tip of the iceberg, with those affected by welfare reform either deliberately overcrowding or, as the data is already showing, moving from inner- to outer-London. 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?
