My hon. Friend mentions single payments and the fact that they are to go. Is it not ironic that the Prime Minister, who is behind all this, receives free curtains, free bedding and free televisions for No. 10 Downing street and in her other residence provided by the taxpayer? However, the Government are prepared to take that payment away from poor people in my borough of Newham.
