Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.
Localism Bill
Does my right hon. Friend share my concerns about passing to local government the responsibility to house people in the private sector? Rents are not regulated, tenancies are limited, conditions are often poor, and the tenant's power to control the way the landlord behaves or maintains the property is very limited. What we need is more council housing with secure tenancies at economic rents, as are currently charged. That is the real way out of the housing crisis.
