Commenting on today's petition by Shelter to update the 1935 overcrowding standard, Sarah Teather said:

"Labour's betrayal of the hundreds of thousands of families stuck in cramped conditions is frankly unforgivable.

"Overcrowding means children unable to do their homework, and families falling apart due to the stress of living on top of each other.

"Labour has left us right back where we were under the last Conservative Government. We urgently need to bringing many more homes back into use and update the outdated rules on overcrowding.

"People should not be condemned to homes more suitable for battery hens."
