Localism Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Gardner of Parkes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Localism Bill.
I am told that I am not out of order and that I can therefore ask the noble Lord a question. Is he aware that when the Parker Morris standards were in force, the standard of all the local authority housing, as it was at that time—social housing has widened since then with housing associations —was way above that produced by any commercial developer? I have heard noble Lords in this Chamber say the reverse of that, but that is not the case. Parker Morris was the town clerk of Westminster City Council. His standards were too high and could not continue to be afforded. Is the noble Lord aware of that?
