The London borough of Newham has asked a council 160 miles away if it can provide homes for 500 families. Newham council says private rents in the borough are too expensive to be covered by the benefit payment capped by the Government so its asked Stoke Council and a number of other organisations if they could take them. The Brighter Futures Housing Association in Stoke now says there needs to be a code of conduct to stop some councils "exporting their most vulnerable and challenging families" to places like theirs and that Newham's request is the tip of the iceberg.
