§ Mr. Powleyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking to enable public sector tenants to see information about themselves which is held by their landlords.
§ Sir George YoungMy Department has today written to the local authority associations, to organisations representing tenants' interests, and to other interested bodies, to seek their views about how such information can be made more readily available. Public sector tenants sometimes believe that their landlords' files contain misleading personal information. In this area, and subject to proper safeguards, they ought to be able to check that mistakes are not being made. A copy of the consultation letter is in the Library.
