Does anyone know when they are planning to bring The Workhouses back?

It can only be a matter of time!   :'(

Already mooted in 2013 for long term unemployed and disabled  :'( and more recently as "WorkFAREhouse" for those unfortunate enough to be homeless because of Bedroom Tax debt. >:(

I guess we only have to blame ourselves as we vote them in. >:( >:(
I have stopped voting for the front runners in Australian local,state and federal elections preferring an independant candidate in all three. ;) ;)

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

We seem to have moved away from the original subject which is often the case.

I wonder if anyone realises that the government has warned the private sector about their land bank holdings which is pushing up the prices of low cost homes.  Danny Alexander tells housebuilding sector ‘if you don’t build them, we will’, with pilot project under way in Cambridgeshire.   A pilot project is under way at Northstowe, a former RAF base in Cambridgeshire, with the capacity for 10,000 houses, which would make it the largest planned town since Milton Keynes.
