Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Geoffrey Robinson and Lord Stunell

Thursday 25th November 2010 Commons Chamber

[Andrew Stunell]

As my hon. Friend knows, I attended the lobby that she organised, and I have absolutely no doubt about the serious problem that residents face with a small minority of rogue landlords. We need to see how the Tribunals Service can deal with these complaints and matters. Certainly, we shall be looking very hard to see what progress we can make. The Minister for Housing and Local Government is looking at a range of measures that will help to combat the mismanagement and abuse that some residents face, and he will shortly make an announcement on his plans.

[Mr Geoffrey Robinson (Coventry North West) (Lab)]
