Council Housing

Mr. Clifton-Brown
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many local management agreements have been taken up since their introduction.

Mr. Iain Wright
Proposals for local management agreements (LMAs) were included in the Tenant Empowerment Consultation document published last June but as yet there has not been any formal introduction of LMAs by the Department. Some local authorities may already have such agreements in place, but this is not something collected by the Department.
