Local Authority Tenants (Arrears) (Hansard, 7 July 1992)

HC Deb 07 July 1992 vol 211 c154W 154W

§ Mr. Wigley
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will bring forward proposals for powers to issue regulations to local authorities to prevent eviction of local authority tenants for arrears of water and environmental charges.

§ Mr. Maclean
No. Local authorities do not have powers to evict tenants solely on the grounds of the non-payment of water and environmental charges.
