Sowry: fool or liar?

Published: Fri 29 Oct 1999 12:59 AM
"Roger Sowry's claim that 250,000 low-income families would lose the accommodation supplement under Labour shows he is either a fool or a liar," says Labour's housing spokesperson Graham Kelly.
"Labour's housing policy says in black and white that 'an accommodation benefit will continue to be available to eligible people renting in the private sector'.
"Either Mr Sowry can't read, or he can't tell the truth.
"Tony Ryall has tried telling the same porkies. Is it compulsory in the Prat Pack to make things up?"
