Proceeding contribution from Chloe Smith (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Local Government (Devon, Norfolk and Suffolk).


Local Government (Devon, Norfolk and Suffolk)

I thank my hon. Friend for that. The city council is on top of its ability to leave bins full and, as already mentioned, is well known for the failure of its housing department, which led to the "Greyhound Opening" scandal in 2008-09, in which a senior employee and other staff were allowed to move into decommissioned sheltered housing and rent at social housing rates.
