Proceeding contribution from Sheila Gilmore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

Does the Minister not agree, however, that for many people the attraction of the housing association or council sector is security of tenure and the fact that they can settle, rather than living in the private rented sector, where they will always have a sword hanging over their head because the landlord may decide to end the tenancy at any moment? It is not just about the relative qualities of the properties, but about people's sense of security.
