Social Housing: Older People

Debate between Lord Kennedy of Southwark and Baroness Kennedy of Cradley

Thursday 9th May 2019 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Kennedy of Cradley]

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to address the provision of suitable social housing for older people.

[Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Lab Co-op)]

My Lords, on behalf of my noble friend Lady Kennedy of Cradley, and with her permission, I beg leave to ask the Question standing in her name on the Order Paper. In doing so, I draw the attention of the House to my relevant interests as a vice-president of the Local Government Association and as a trustee of the United St Saviour’s Charity in Southwark, which provides social housing for older people.
