MP Urges U-Turn On 'Bedroom Tax'

A city MP has called on the Government to backtrack over its controversial "bedroom tax" plans.  Thousands of low-income families across Notts will be forced to pay more rent or move out of their homes when it is introduced on April 1. Nottingham South MP Lilian Greenwood said: "The Government urgently needs to look again.
