Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Greater London Authority Bill.

Greater London Authority Bill

I thank the hon. Gentleman for his intervention. He and I substantially agree on this issue. All power should be accountable, and there should be an appellate system against decisions; other hon. Members have intervened earlier on that point. As for social housing, it could be written in statute that the Mayor must take account of housing needs and the size of the housing waiting list. I understand the hon. Gentleman’s point, which was well made, but we must hand over powers to make sure that social housing needs are adequately met.
