On Tuesday 4h March Alistair Strathern MP introduced his Ten Minute rule bill on Housing Estates. A well informed and articulated speech which we strongly support. We thanks him for securing the time for this and note again cross party support for the bill, which will have a second reading in July. You can read the text in Hansard here or watch the video from parliament tv below:
Although ten minute rule bills (private members bills) do not usually make it into law, they are a great way to put pressure on the government and keep the issue alive.
Simply put, his bill proposes a right to manage for estate dwellers to obtain more accountability with the ability to hire and fire management agents, minimum standards for construction and timescales for adoption.
