In this submission we urge the CHG to look at the current system, particularly in the light of the recent Public Accounts Committee’s examination into the value for money of stock transfer, and understand why many residents, and many housing officers agree that transfer and PFI are a retrograde step. UNISON is also pleased to be able to bring the CHG a solution to the problems affecting council housing. (872k download)

ODPM select committee report into decent homes
UNISON response
6 January 2004

A Parliamentary committee has been in session gathering evidence on the implementation of the English government's Decent Homes Standard. It is hoped any recommendations that the committee make will have an impact on the government's investment strategy and will create the level playing field of investment choices that UNISON and tenants have been campaigning for. UNISON has submitted this written evidence, and gave verbal evidence in December.
