Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 December 2006. It occurred during Estimates day on Affordable Housing.
Affordable Housing
My hon. Friend refers to the priority of ensuring that empty housing is reused. Is not the greater use of under-occupied housing a parallel issue? In the estates for which I am responsible—no doubt my hon. Friend will have had similar experiences—I often find that three or four-bedroom local authority houses are occupied for long periods by an elderly person for want of either appropriate sheltered accommodation, or a financial incentive to free that house up for a family. What does the Committee have to say about that?
