Single mother of eight living in a £2.6m mansion - so much for Labour's housing benefit crackdow
A year after the Government vowed to crack down on housing benefits, a single mother of eight is still living in a £2.6million (4.22m USD)mansion funded by taxpayers.Francesca Walker receives more than £90,000 (146.000 USD) a year in housing allowance to meet the rent on the five-bedroom villa, plus other payouts of £15,000. A defiant Miss Walker, 34, insists that she and her children aged from six to 16 are completely justified in living there as the council could not find them a big enough home. And, bizarrely, she claims that 'living in this house is holding me back'. Posted by: tipper 2009-12-14 |
