Proceeding contribution from Stephen Ladyman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Personal Care at Home Bill.


Personal Care at Home Bill

I think that the hon. Gentleman is talking about a specific type of accommodation—usually a retirement village—where, instead of buying a particular property, people buy an equity stake that allows them to move around. However, in the vast majority of extra care accommodation, people are either leaseholders or tenants in a wider property. If he doubts me, I am quite happy to take him round a whole slew of such properties, so that he can see the benefits of extra care and become a convert to such accommodation.
