Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Housing and Regeneration Bill.


Housing and Regeneration Bill

As the hon. Gentleman says, the issue for my hon. Friend the Member for Chesterfield (Paul Holmes) and others is housing policy. Whatever structures we discuss, if policy is manipulated in a specific way, the Government can ensure a specific outcome—on this occasion, the dogmatic assumption that stock transfer is preferable to local authorities holding on to stock. That vexes my colleagues, and perhaps some Labour Members.
