Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.
Localism Bill
The Minister is doing a very good Pontius Pilate impersonation. He is saying, ““I'll wash my hands of it and we will leave it to others.”” But he is leaving it to authorities such as Hammersmith and Fulham council or Notting Hill Housing, the second biggest social landlord, which have both said that they will opt for the minimum possible terms for all tenants, including the elderly and the disabled. What he is allowing as a Liberal Democrat Minister—if that means anything—against what many Liberal Democrats are arguing in constituencies such as mine, is the removal of all the security that people, including the elderly and the disabled, have come to depend on. Will he not take a stand on this issue?
