Mr Nuttall
My hon. Friend makes a good point. Lots of people openly admit that their property is larger than they need, and that they would benefit from living in smaller accommodation.
Mark Pawsey (Rugby) (Con)
We have heard a great deal about under-occupation, but what about the 360,000 families living in houses that are far too small for growing families? Does my hon. Friend agree that we have not heard enough in this debate about that particular group, which will benefit from the changes?
Mr Nuttall
I am grateful to my hon. Friend for making that point, which he will hear a little more about in my speech.
