Supplementary memorandum by the London
Borough of Camden (DEC 65(a))
I would like to thank the Select Committee for
raising at your recent meeting a number of important points with
Keith Hill that relate to Camden's recent ALMO vote and the wider
implications of what impact a tenant "no" vote may have
on the Government's ability to achieve its Decent Homes targets.
I realise that the Select Committee report will
have a very broad remit, but I hope that the Camden evidence was
useful and may inform the final report.
I would like to take this opportunity to respond
to some of the comments that were made by Keith Hill to questions
made by the Committee with the intention of clarifying a number
of issues he raised. Not surprisingly, we do not agree with a
number of the assertions he made. We do however agree with the
Minister that there were very specific factors in Camden that
led to the overwhelming "no" vote. For ease of reference,
we have responded to individual questions and comments as they
were raised in the attached paper.
Cllr Dame Jane Roberts
Leader of the Council
