Decent Homes Programme (Nottingham)

John Bercow Excerpts

Tuesday 26th June 2012 Commons Chamber

[Lilian Greenwood]

rose—

[Mr Speaker]

Order. Is the Minister giving way or sitting down?

[Andrew Stunell]

Apparently, I am giving way, Mr Speaker.

[Mr Speaker]

The hon. Gentleman is a generous fellow. I call Lilian Greenwood.

[Lilian Greenwood]

I thank the Minister for giving way. I obviously listened carefully to his response, although I should say I am rather disappointed with its lack of clarity. Can he confirm how many tenants of Nottingham City Homes he expects to be living in non-decent housing by the time this Parliament comes to an end in 2015?

--- Later in debate ---

[Mr Speaker]

The hon. Gentleman is courtesy and good grace itself. I did not think that an apology was necessary but it is very much appreciated, and I thank the hon. Gentleman for what he has said. This is the first time that the question of the Adjournment being moved has been punctuated in this way during my tenure, but I thank him.

Question put and agreed to.
