Proceeding contribution from Stephen Gilbert (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 grateful to the hon. Lady for indicating her party's support for such a proposal. It could be quite transformative if the Government, while discharging the homelessness duties into the private rented sector, were to become a big purchaser of services in that sector, and we could drive up standards through an accreditation scheme. Does she agree with me on that?
