  Yet another ill-conceived policy ``U``turn over bedroom tax .....written staement reply by IDS after Cameron gave full backing to
  
  the tax in Commons,He realy is making many rash statements at PMQ`s that have to be corrected.
  
  The work and pensions secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, has announced a partial U-turn on the government's controversial bedroom tax, exempting foster carers and armed forces personnel who live at home.
  
  The concessions were announced in a written ministerial statement after weeks of growing political pressure over the policy. It dominated exchanges last week at prime minister's questions in the Commons, where David Cameron defended the policy, which he called the "spare-room subsidy", from a question at PMQ`s by Miliband.
  
  The changes will mean that about 5,000 approved foster carers will be allowed an additional room as long as they have fostered a child or become a registered carer in the past 12 months..
