Social housing bill should be passed by government: Jiří Dienstbier

Minister for Human Rights, Jiří Dienstbier, has said a new bill on social housing should be passed during the current government’s term. The comments to the Czech News Agency follow delays to the proposed law which was originally destined to be in place at the start of 2017. A half year delay to that target has already been announced and the prime minister’s main advisor, Vladimír Špidla, has suggest another similar delay is probably in the pipeline. The bill would aim to make emergency, social, and cheap housing available to those with below average incomes.
