Business secretary attacks

Child Poverty Action Group charity "irresponsible behavior" on the challenge of law reform in court

activists accused

welfare secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, to "remain calm" after the minister has launched an extraordinary attack against a charitable organization to challenge the proposed reforms by the government of subsidy to housing court, that describes the action as "irresponsible ridiculous ... (And) a reckless public relations ploy, "leading to" a huge waste of taxpayer money and judicial time. "

The Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) had attempted to overthrow the government of the CAP for the benefit of the house, the High Court arguing that the measure would lead to "social cleansing" areas of the United expensive Kingdom.

caps means that the benefits to the poor to cover the rent can not exceed 250 pounds per week for a one bedroom property, £ 290 for two bedrooms, £ 340 for three bedrooms and 400 books four bedrooms. Government own assessment show that the groups involved are people with disabilities, teenage mothers and families from ethnic minorities.

Charities

had argued that the effect will be felt first in the capital, saying that 9000 houses would have to leave London for their homes because of the coverage - and about 4600 can be found in any other Instead of living "locally".

This could mean more than 20,000 children have to move, 14,000 out of their local area, resulting in the interruption of education services, health and social services. Social Security Advisory Committee has recommended that the government not to change, arguing that the risks - to increase the levels of poverty, crime and serious disruption to the schooling of poor children -. Offset any financial savings

However, the judge dismissed the application is CPAG - essentially according to the Government that the purpose of housing benefit was not to prevent homelessness, but to assist applicants to rent while protecting the public purse. The ministers were in their right to cut spending.

• Duncan Smith said. "CPAG challenges of our reform housing benefit was a bold public relations ploy, and amounts to nothing more than a huge waste of taxpayer money and judicial time"
• He added: "The cost of housing has exploded out of control, and this test is that the justification that our reforms is to ensure the support in place for those who need it, but stop insane excess that we have seen in recent years for people on benefits living in homes that people work could not afford. "

warned that the militants should "think twice" before challenging the government. "I sincerely hope CPAG think twice before repeating this ridiculous and irresponsible behavior in the future,"- he said.

poverty groups were "shocked" by the explosion. Bob Holman, the community activist who has known the former Conservative leader has visited Glasgow Easterhouse scheme with him in 2002, said Chief Cabinet Secretary had failed under the "critical pressure every day."

"CPAG is the work and duty to question the government when you think that poor children are missing. Going Crazy is a sign of [Duncan Smith] crack under the pressure of criticism. It is no more I had the Institute for Fiscal Studies will tell the world that more than half a million children living in poverty in this Parliament unemployment. is 2.5. you lose your cool in the CPAG. But he is wrong. "
housing allowance provides a proven means of support for living expenses of 4.8 million poor families. Duncan Smith said the housing subsidy spending is expected to reach £ 24.7bn in 2014/15 and that the new measures, amounting to 2.4 billion pounds in savings were needed.
