Rise in families housed in B&Bs

The number of families with children being housed in bed and breakfast accommodation has increased by more than 200% in two years of the coalition's period in office, Labour claims.

Sharon Hodgson, MP for Washington and Sunderland West, told the Commons the number of families in such a situation had risen from 630 in March 2010 to 2,020 in September this year.
