Oral Answers to Questions

Robert Flello Excerpts

Monday 25th November 2013 Commons Chamber

[Kris Hopkins]

We have done it already. In the Localism Act 2011, we changed how housing associations were regulated, giving back power to tenants to hold their landlords to account.

[Robert Flello (Stoke-on-Trent South) (Lab)]

Will the Secretary of State reassure local authorities that they will not need to spend millions of pounds of much-needed funds on duplicating IT equipment because of the end user devices security guidance issued by CESG? Will he look into that and reassure local authorities that they will not need to spend that money?

[Brandon Lewis]

This is something that we are looking at, and I am happy to keep the hon. Gentleman up to date with progress.
