Migrants complain home is too small

- By Tom Kelly

A MIGRANT family of ten who have spurned three offers of a bigger council house must accept a fourth property or be made homeless.

Cameroon-born Arnold and Jeanne Mballe Sube, on an estimated £44,000 a year in handouts, claim their threebedro­om house is too small.

But the local council says the couple have already rejected three offers of more spacious homes – two without viewing them. These included a fivebedroo­m property in Luton, Bedfordshi­re, which the family complained did not have a dining room or storage.

The couple reportedly ran up a taxpayer-funded £38,400 hotel bill while waiting for their present home.

Tory MPs branded the demands ‘shameless’. But Mr Sube said: ‘We are not greedy – we want a home for the kids.’
