HC Deb 25 January 1989 vol 145 cc643-4W
79. Mr. McCartney

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to prevent the homes of service men on active service being transferred from the local authority to another landlord if they are unable to vote under the tenants' choice provisions in the Housing Act 1988.

Mr. Trippier

Arrangements proposed under the tenants' choice provisions to consult tenants, including those temporarily absent from home, were described in my Department's consultation paper "Tenants' Choice: Consultation and Voting", which was issued on 8 December 1988 and copies of which were placed in the Library.
