Tenants – Parliamentary Written Answer

Jonathan Reynolds: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what consideration he has given to housing tenure reform as part of the big society initiative.
Andrew Stunell: The Government have embarked on a radical programme to shift power from Whitehall to the local level—to councils, housing associations and communities. Through the Localism Bill we are reforming the social housing system to make it fairer, striking a proper balance between the needs of new and existing tenants. There will be no change to the security and rights of existing social tenants.
