Business of the House

As the Leader of the House will recall, some months ago I raised the matter of Bolsover district council's need to replace 108 prefabricated bungalows, which were built after the end of the second world war. We had a meeting with the previous Housing Minister, who has now gone. We need to debate the issue because Bolsover district council had been led to believe that if it did not own its own housing stock, but had an arm's length management organisation, it would get the money from the Government to replace those bungalows. Their foundations are rotting and we need a debate on the issue. More importantly, will the Leader of the House convey to the new Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government that we need him to meet Bolsover council representatives, to ensure fair treatment between councils that retain council stock and those that have gone over to ALMOs?
