Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) 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 is very difficult to probe the reasons for something. The words, ““membership of the Housing Corporation shall qualify an individual for membership””, would have seemed odd. As I have said, I do not oppose this proposal, but I do not understand why it needs to be said. That is the reason for my amendment. I should have thought that it would apply. I do not know whether we should understand from this that membership of the Housing Corporation is a bar to appointment to the HCA, because that is not said there.
