Housing Act 1988

HC Deb 17 January 1989 vol 145 c150W

Mr. Soley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether an Italian national living in a council house will be eligible to vote under tenants' choice provisions made under the Housing Act 1988.

Mr. Trippier

Yes, as long as he or she meets the criteria laid down in the Act. British nationality is not a necessary qualification for voting under tenants' choice.
