Proceeding contribution from Baroness Dean of Thornton-le-Fylde (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Housing and Regeneration Bill.


Housing and Regeneration Bill

It has been quite complicated following the amendments through this group. The noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, referred to membership of the Housing Corporation not being a bar to appointment. I support that because it is a fair, clear statement. The amendment wants that to come out, but I believe that it should stay in. Much of the experience on the regulatory side will need to come from people who may well have worked as members of the Housing Corporation—maybe some time ago—but this would debar them entirely.
