HC Deb 25 November 1986 vol 106 cc229-30W
59. Mr. Holt

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has to review charges for sheltered accommodation.

Mr. Tracey

Local authorities, housing associations and other public and private sector bodies provide a wide range of sheltered housing schemes, with varying facilities and support services. It is for them to decide the level and nature of rents and charges that are appropriate in particular cases subject to any statutory protection such as that afforded to tenants under the Rent Acts or to occupants of flats and maisonettes under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.
