Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 May 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on Social Housing in London.
Social Housing in London
I was head of the Camden council's policy unit during the 1980s. I remember with pride the engagement and investment in developing tenants' associations. They gave us a hard time—they were in your face—but they played an important democratic role in the raising of standards. In the case of the larger housing associations, that whole ethos has completely gone.
