Tooting MP Sadiq Khan criticised the Government for
making nearly 100 Wandsworth families homeless due to the benefits cap. An

admitted into temporary accommodated provided by the council because they could
not afford the bills. The MP said the only way to solve the problem would be to
tackle why people relied on benefits to make ends meet, to build more
affordable and social housing and set fair rents. Read more on the Wandsworth Guardian
