9:37Now PlayingIain Dale asked Rory Stewart how he can ask to stay in the spare rooms of Londoners when he voted six times for the Bedroom Tax to be introduced.
The independent candidate in the London Mayoral Election in May announced yesterday that he wants to sleep for a night in the homes of a wide variety of Londoners to discover the issues that affect their lives.
Mr Stewart told Iain that he sits on the floor in his pyjamas and chats to his hosts - bringing his own sleeping back and even providing a box of chocolates.
But Iain said to him: "Somebody has pointed out that you voted six times for the bedroom tax and yet, you're asking to stay in people's spare rooms.
"Some people are calling that hypocrisy."
But Rory insisted: "It's true that I came into a situation in government where the country was bankrupt after the financial crisis in 2008.
