Rachel Reeves, the Shadow secretary for work and pensions has urged the other MPs in the UK to scrap the controversial bedroom tax in the country.

Some suggest that the children in homes are getting affected as households are forced to squeeze family food budgets. According to new estimates, as many as 375,000 youngsters are being affected because of the tax in the country. A new research showed that families who have been unable to move home are now worse off by £13.60 a week on average and £709 per year.

Labour leaders, who have said that they are looking to scrap the tax, have said that families are forced to look towards food banks to feed their children or taking pay-day loans. Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Rachel Reeves says David Cameron is not aware of the misery caused by the tax on families in the country.

Rachel Reeves said, "The Bedroom Tax symbolises everything that's wrong with David Cameron's Government. While cutting taxes for millionaires he's taking money from the poor and disabled and is so out of touch he seems oblivious to the distress he's causing. New analysis shows that as many as 375,000 children could be forced to move or pushed deeper into poverty or debt by this policy."
