Proceeding contribution from Baroness Andrews (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 March 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 can reassure the noble Lord about that. It definitely could happen because only part of the function relating to housing could be taken away. If those local authorities forming an EPB thought it relevant and important, there is no reason at all why the housing authorities should not retain most of what they do. I cannot speculate because I do not have a specific instance in mind but I can reassure the noble Lord that it would not mean all or nothing in terms of housing.
