HC Deb 13 June 2003 vol 406 cc1156-7W
Ms Oona King

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister when he will publish the results of the 2001 English House Condition Survey. [118650]

Mr. McNulty

The results of the 2001 English House Condition Survey will be published in July 2003.

Ms Oona King

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will list the secondary legislation and guidance envisaged by the draft Housing Bill; which have been published; and when he will publish the remainder. [118652]

Mr. McNulty

The draft Housing Bill was published for consultation at the end of March 2003. The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister Select Committee will carry out pre-legislative scrutiny of the draft Bill during June and July 2003. We cannot at this stage specify when secondary legislation and guidance will be published., as the Bill may change as a result of responses to the consultation and Select Committee recommendations. The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister will, however, set out a statement of policy intent for each of the main pieces of secondary legislation and guidance when Parliament carries out detailed scrutiny of the Bill.
