Written evidence to be reported to the House
Housing and Regeneration Bill
6:30 pm
Paul Stevens: The CML response to the Cave report was supportive of its recommendations. We support the notion that there should be an independent domain-wide regulator. The detail of that has yet to be worked out. How are you going to manage the for-profit bodies and the not-for-profit local authorities coming in? All that needs to wash through. But I hope that we will end up with a more effective regulator, which can recognise the differences between those organisations that are providing social housing.
