Number 10 invites experts

26/06/2009

Prime minister Gordon Brown has invited housing representatives to a meeting at 10 Downing Street on Monday evening to discuss his party’s plans for the sector.

The meeting has sparked speculation that the government may be using the event to launch the findings of its long-awaited review of the housing revenue account.

The findings were originally expected to be unveiled by former housing minister Margaret Beckett at the Chartered Institute of Housing’s annual conference last week.

    It would be interesting to know who the in crowd are? I do hope they include proper representation of tenants and front line staff who are aware of what is really going on in the sector and not just bods in suits sitting in offices making decisions without the real facts. Lets hope that logic has been used in the review of the housing revenue account and we see real positive progress in housing and equality of opportunity and affordability for all.
