Social Housing – Security Of Tenure Parliamentary Oral Answer

Clive Betts MP (Labour, Sheffield Attercliffe, Chair APPG for ALMOs): What recent assessment has been made of security of tenure for social housing tenants; and if he will make a statement?
John Healey MP (Minister of State for Housing): Low-cost, long-term tenancies are the foundation for the lives of millions of social tenants, and we are committed to safeguarding that security.
Clive Betts MP: Would the Minister like to offer reassurance to members of the Westfield tenants and residents association, who are somewhat alarmed to see comments made by the chief executive of the TSA, who said that in future, tenants in areas of high demand might lose that security?
John Healey MP: As for the comments of the chief executive of the TSA, it would be worth while for my hon. Friend to reassure residents in his constituency that matters of policy concerning the security of people's tenure are for the Government, not the TSA chief executive.
