Localism Bill

Proceeding contribution from Clive Efford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Localism Bill.
Some of us who fought very hard on the issue of secure tenancies and the future of rents at the last election were accused of scaremongering and lying. The Conservatives' election manifesto explicitly states that they will"““respect the tenures and rents of social housing tenants.””" Ministers have made promises today on respecting the future of tenancies and rents, but how can we believe them when the Conservatives said that in their general election manifesto and wrote it off so soon afterwards in the coalition agreement?
