HC Deb 03 July 2002 vol 388 c344W
Mr. Martlew

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans she has to change insolvency rules covering housing associations. [63949]

Miss Melanie Johnson

The Enterprise Bill proposes changes to insolvency regulation, which will affect housing associations to the extent that they fall within its scope.

However, as announced by my noble Friend yesterday during the second reading of the Enterprise Bill, we will he bringing forward express exclusions to ensure that the provisions of the Bill will not extend to registered social landlords.
