All council tenants in Wales should be told this year how their local authority plans to meet the housing quality standard, an influential committee has said this week.
The national housing strategy task and finish committee has said tenants have a "right to know" by the end of 2004. It said the right should be extended to other social housing tenants.

"It is critical that this is done in a way that demystifies the process for tenants," the committee said in a report published last Friday.

The committee includes representatives from the Council of Mortgage Lenders, associations, councils, universities and the Chartered Institute of Housing Cymru.

Although the proposal is intended to explain the plans clearly, it would also help to counter anti-transfer propaganda.
