Conservatives protest to UN over 'bedroom tax' report

"Conservative chairman Grant Shapps has condemned as an "absolute disgrace" a UN official's critical comments on the government's housing benefit changes.
Mr Shapps said he would be writing to the UN secretary general to protest.
He claimed the UN official Raquel Rolnik failed to meet any ministers or officials, was biased and had wrongly called the "spare room subsidy" policy "the bedroom tax"."

Either the criticism was correct or incorrect. Speaking ot UK ministers deoesn't change that.
