Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 November 2007. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Local Government and Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Debate on the Address.


Local Government and Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech, but he will know that one of the biggest problems facing local authorities that have chosen to remain social landlords is that they perceive that they are being penalised by the way that the money is clawed back. Does he agree that, as a result, it can appear that one area is subsidising another area, in a way that could, against the wishes of everyone involved, force the relevant ballot to be rerun?
