Question on Housing Association (CEOs)

Sir Patrick Cormack (South Staffordshire) (Con): What are the qualifications for these characters, and how does the Prime Minister apply?

Mr. Dhanda: I am not sure whether the hon. Gentleman is interested in applying, but as I said, it is for the boards to decide. There are about 2,000 registered social landlords delivering 2 million homes to about 4 million residents. It is important to remember that what I read out to the House was just the salaries of the top five CEOs, and despite the fact that they are doing a good job, it would be unfair to focus on just the top five.
