HC Deb 18 February 1986 vol 92 c114W
Mr. Allan Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what arrangements his Department has made to monitor the operation of the right-to-repair scheme introduced under the Housing and Building Control Act 1984.

Sir George Young

The right-to-repair scheme is being monitored by means of an additional section in the quarterly housing activity form completed by local authorities. The new section covers the number of applications, the number which were refused and the reasons, the number of claims made under the default procedure and the extent to which contractors have been used.
