Elderly people will not get any work done on their homes. A lady called to me last week. She is a local authority tenant and she cannot afford to fix her gas boiler. We tell those tenants that we do not fix gas boilers, doors or windows. We do not do any repairs anymore to local authority houses. The Minister must address this because people are living in fear.
