Clegg's Promise of Bedroom Tax Review Is a 'Sham,' Says Harman

Nick Clegg’s promise of a review into the controversial so-called 'bedroom tax' was labelled a “sham” by Harriet Harman after it emerged it will not be complete until late 2015 and will not hear from the public.  Last month the Deputy Prime Minister told Ms Harman in the Commons that a review would be carried out into the 'bedroom tax', saying: “To be honest, lots of wildly different figures have been cited about the policy’s impact. That is why we are commissioning independent research to understand its impact. I suspect that it varies enormously between one part of the country and another, and one local authority and another.”  Read more on the Independent website.
