I am aware a Labour candidiate in my area has spoken at a couple of public meetings in favour of council housing stock remaining.

However, in my view Labour is a party of privatisation and given the chance would sell off all council housing stock.

Locally members of Respect have been at the forefront of the recently successful Defend Council Housing campaign. Respect has defended council housing from the start and is the only party to have consistently stated its position as anti-privatisation and anti-war.
