HOME IMPROVEMENT AGENCY SECTOR

Early day motion 793, tabled 28 January 2008 by Tom Levitt (Labour). Signed by 38 members.

That this House recognises the excellent work of the home improvement agency sector in assisting vulnerable people to live safely and securely in a place of their choosing, as highlighted during the recent Foundations HIA Awards, sponsored by Stannah; welcomes Government support for the sector through confirmation that there will be a national co-ordinating body for the sector for the next three years, and through funding of the Future HIA project; and believes that such agencies have an increasingly important role to play in ensuring that every home is a decent home.

Signatures by party: Labour 27, Conservative 3, DUP 3, Liberal Democrat 3, Plaid Cymru 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
