Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Private Tenants and Leaseholders (London).
Private Tenants and Leaseholders (London)
I am pleased that my hon. Friend the Member for Islington, North (Jeremy Corbyn) has secured this debate today I agree with him that it is related to yesterday's debate on affordability. Today, we are discussing the other end of affordability. Will the Minister consider seriously the problems facing council leaseholders who, because of the poor state of repair of their properties, and housing association leaseholders who, because of the entry costs and service charges, are finding that their properties are not affordable, and whether we should consider the definition of affordability for people who live in leasehold accommodation that is allegedly low cost? Tricks are often played on them, and they are told that something is affordable when it is not.
