Duncan Smith hails JBD housing - and fields questions on Spurs!

Iain Duncan Smith has praised Jewish Blind and Disabled for offering “a great example of accessible housing” after visiting the charity’s South Woodford property, Milne Court.

The former Tory leader and Work and Pensions Secretary was shown around the 57-apartment development by JBD chief executive Lisa Wimborne and house manager Mark Simons.

He went inside the apartment of tenant Edna Shaw, who talked to him about life at Milne Court, before meeting tenants in the communal lounge, where he fielded questions on topics from Brexit to benefits.

Mr Duncan Smith, MP for Chingford and Woodford Green, said that with the support on hand, Milne Court enabled tenants “to retain their independence and live their lives to the full with the dignity of personal choice.
