Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.

Localism Bill

I am very clear that secure tenancies are a good thing, that council housing is a good thing, and that housing association properties are often good things—they are not always as good as council properties. Will the hon. Lady confirm that the proposal does not affect secure tenants? Does she now accept that? Will she also confirm that the proposal affects people only in future, and that it gives discretion to local authorities? If there were any Government imposition on local authorities, I would not support the proposal for one second, but the proposal gives discretion.
