Written answers

Under Section 58 of the Housing Act 1966, the management and maintenance of the local authority housing stock, is the responsibility of the relevant housing authority. As owners of their social rented properties decisions in relation to the installation of fittings and equipment, including gas meters, are a matter for individual housing authorities.
