Proceeding contribution from Baroness Warsi (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL].

Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]

I thank the Minister for his response. I am going to have a detailed look at Hansard because I am still not clear why a stand-alone body is required. I have heard the points made by the Minister but I am concerned that the reason for TAROE not taking the matter forward is because it is not yet embedded. We could have allowed it time to embed and then given it this further role. The distinction between social housing tenants and private tenants is not clear. If it is to be the National Tenant Voice, why do these distinctions have to be made at this stage? I thank the Minister for his response. We may well return to this on Report. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 144 withdrawn.
