§ Mrs. Anne Campbell (Cambridge)I wish to present a petition from 500 local authority tenants who reside in the city of Cambridge in my constituency. Their concern is
That Section 105 of the Housing Act 1985, part of the original Tenants Charter of the Housing Act 1980, gives a most important right to council tenants in England and Wales in that it obliges their landlord authority to consult them on matters of housing management.The right of tenants to be consulted and to have their views taken into account when any subsequent decision is made is the foundation for tenant participation in housing management.Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your honourable House: Will instruct the Government to make no amendment to reduce tenants' rights under Section 105, Housing Act 1985 (1985 c. 68) and to therefore strike out Clause 114(2) of the Housing and Urban Development Bill, published on Thursday, 22nd October 1992, and strike out clause 115(1) of the Bill insofar as it concerns the proposed amendment made in Section 27(AA)4 of the 1985 Act.
§ To lie upon the Table.
