a comment from the article >It would if the report was comprehensive. It isn't. It ignored housing benefit in private rentals. Housing benefit budget is £25b per year. >It doesn't look at child benefit or break down tax credits. >It doesn't include costs of increased school places (£5 billion additional allocated for this) nor health costs. >The data is does use is not comprehensive from govt departments but a survey. Fact is we don't know all the costs as many are not recorded. using the Guardian to back up a left leaning idea is like quoting The Daily Mail to back up a right leaning idea. |
