Antisocial Behaviour (Social Housing) – Parliamentary Oral Answer

Mr Philip Hollobone (Kettering) (Con): What steps is the Minister for Housing and Local Government taking to reduce the incidence of antisocial behaviour in social housing?
Grant Shapps: I recently announced a package of proposals to strengthen the hands of social landlords and tenants, so that they can take swift and effective action to tackle antisocial behaviour. The amount of time that it takes to evict antisocial tenants is a severe problem, which is why the measures that I announced on 11 January included a proposal for mandatory grounds for evictions when a case has occurred before.
