HB cleansing from Inner to Outer London characterises the
coalition welfare reforms and the figures which prove it are the latest
official DWP HB statistics, published a few weeks ago and accounting for a full
4 year period from May 2010 to May 2014. In that time the overall number of HB
claimants has increased by 4.93%. Here are the regional increases in HB
claimants since the election:
North East 4.93 % : North West : 4.49% : Yorks & Hum 6.43%: East Mid : 5.36%: West Mid 4.2% :
East : 5.69% : South East 5.81% : South West 6.02% :
London (Inner & Outer) 4.93%
Notice how very similar they are and no marked regional
differences in England? Now look what
has happened in Inner London and Outer London and note the average increase in
Inner London is a mere 0.1% in the HB claimant count yet in Outer London it is
8.55% and way above any other area of England. Read more on the Speye blog.
