SNP and Labour deal ‘ends bedroom tax in Scotland’

[quote]The controversial bedroom tax was effectively brought to an end in Scotland yesterday after the SNP and Labour struck a historic deal at Holyrood last night.
The Scottish Government’s annual Budget was passed with £35 million set aside to fully mitigate against the impact of the welfare reform which affects almost 80,000 Scottish households. It means no Scot can now face eviction from their home over the “tax”, which sees cuts in housing benefits for those considered to have a spare bedroom.[/quote]

I wish I had a spare bedroom.
Good. It's a bit stupid to tax someone because they're not using every room in their house.
