Should people have to 'pay to stay' in social housing?

Gerald Vernon-Jackson of Local Government Association discusses new "pay to stay" rules.

More than 70,000 social housing tenants in England would face average rent rises of 拢1,000 a year unless the government backs down on new "pay to stay" rules due to come into force next April, the Local Government Association has warned.
