Proceeding contribution from Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

My Lords, does the Minister accept that what has been proposed would enable tenants to keep their right to decide whether they want to go through their councillor or MP or go directly to the ombudsman? What the Government are proposing denies them that choice. That is the problem that we have on this side of the House.
