HC Deb 23 February 1993 vol 219 cc517-8W
Mr. Frank Field

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he intends to take to give local authority tenants, living in homes in serious disrepair, the same protection as is afforded to private sector tenants under the Housing Act 1985; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Baldry

None. I have seen no evidence to suggest that the law as it stands is in practice giving rise to any unfairness to council tenants.
