Very strongly agree

No

Plaid Cymru strongly disagrees with reducing benefits for tenants with more bedrooms than occupants. They have campaigned against the 'bedroom tax' and have called for its abolition. In 2014, Plaid Cymru MP Jonathan Edwards introduced a bill to repeal the policy, stating that it 'hits the poorest and most vulnerable in society.'

Agree

Yes, but with exception for those with disabled family members

Plaid Cymru has expressed concern for the impact of the 'bedroom tax' on disabled individuals and their families. In 2013, MP Hywel Williams highlighted the case of a disabled constituent who was adversely affected by the policy. However, their primary focus has been on opposing the policy altogether, rather than advocating for specific exemptions.

Disagree

Yes, but only if they refuse to move to an available smaller property

While Plaid Cymru might agree with the idea of encouraging tenants to move to smaller properties if available, they have not specifically advocated for this approach. Their primary focus has been on opposing the 'bedroom tax' policy and advocating for its repeal. Therefore, their agreement with this answer is limited.

Plaid Cymru has consistently opposed the 'bedroom tax' policy, which reduces benefits for tenants with more bedrooms than occupants.
