The TSA has been rocked by the news that it will definitely be abolished if the Conservative Party wins the General Election. The shock announcement was made by Stewart Jackson, shadow CLG minister, during a parliamentary debate. He told MPs: "For the avoidance of doubt, a future Conservative Government will abolish the TSA. We believe that what is being proposed in terms of the rationale reveals a fundamental lack of trust in tenants and an opinion that they cannot be trusted to work through properly elected boards with professional officers with RSLs in terms of the oversight facility. Our commitment is clear. The performance of the TSA has not been good over the past 12 months or so. It was the quango responsible for the extra bureaucracy laid upon council tax payers and central Government taxpayers, which paid the Audit Commission £1.8 million to carry out its basic audit function.” Read the full story on the 24dash website.
