MPs to get a chance to scrap the hated Bedroom Tax
Attack the tax: Ian Lavery MP
Ian Lavery – Labour MP for Wansbeck – is to bring a special 10 Minute Rule Bill to give MPs the chance to scrap the Bedroom Tax.
The 10 Minute Rule Bill is a way for backbench MPs to introduce legislation.
Ian Lavery will speak for no more than 10 minutes on why the Bedroom Tax must be abolished. And an opponent can then reply for 10 minutes.
If the Bill is passed, it is the first step to it becoming law.
The Bill was due to be introduced yesterday, but has been postponed until February 11 or 12.
Please email or write to your MP now to ask them to make sure they support the Lavery Bill.
