Housing and Planning Bill

Proceeding contribution from Earl of Listowel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 20 April 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Housing and Planning Bill.

My Lords, I remind the House that often we are talking about families. Some time ago, I accompanied a health visitor to a property in Waltham Forest. Five families were sharing a kitchen

and bathroom facilities. Perhaps the property was not so overcrowded but it was very insalubrious as they were all sharing those facilities. The front door was wide open when we walked in. We visited a mother whose child was three or four weeks old. The mother was very isolated and desperate. So I remind your Lordships that we are also talking about families when we talk about these people.
