Schedule 9 - Buildings which are not HMOs (except in Part 1)
Housing Bill

Mr John Hayes (South Holland and The Deepings, Conservative)
Rather as John Bright said of Lord John Russell, one of the hon. Gentleman's predecessors, I have to tell him that he is probably ''flogging a dead horse'' with his amendment. However, I wonder whether he might test the Minister on his experience and knowledge of the arrangements that university authorities make to ensure that properties are up to standard. The Minister has on a number of occasions used that argument as a reason not to do what the hon. Gentleman proposes. He says that there are good informal arrangements in place, but he has never given us any detail.
