No this isn't. What are the circumstances? Are they related? How old? What sex?

So ... people who can only afford a two bedroom house cannot legally have children ?

That's harsh on poor people.

Maybe you think that people who live in two bedroom houses should be sterilised after their first child ??

You are in a council house and would like a larger one - yes?

There is a definition of overcrowding which takes account of the number of people in a house and the number of rooms(not just bedrooms). Very few houses are overcrowded on this definition. But it has no real significance other than it may just help you get up the waiting list for a bigger council house. If it's your own house I can't see anyone would be interested- you certainly wouldn't get state financial support to buy a bigger house.

Knock thru bedrooms to make dormitory and fill with bunk beds. Access attic - more bunk beds also any other rooms; outside sheds/garage etc.....'orphanage' if you move out; register as charity - quids in!

when i was a child. the rules were children can share rooms until adulthood. If the same sex. if you have a boy and a girl they can't share a room once th eboy turns 5 years of age. I belive that is a good i dea.
I also belive if you can't aford to have children then you really shouldn't have that many.
