§ Mr. WinnickTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what will be the effects of the arrangements for new private tenancies on families currently on local authority waiting lists; and if he will make a statement;
(2) what will be the effects of the arrangements for new private tenancies on families currently in bed and breakfast accommodation; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. TrippierThe new assured tenancy scheme should increase the supply of privately rented accommodation and therefore provide greater choice for families currently on local authority waiting lists or living in bed-and-breakfast accommodation.
