Housing and Planning Bill

Proceeding contribution from Meg Hillier (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 May 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Housing and Planning Bill.

I am grateful to the Minister for giving way so that I can clarify both the role of the Public Accounts Committee and my role as Chair of it. We had a forensic investigation by the National Audit Office. We set out to be helpful to the taxpayer and to the Government in implementing their policy, ensuring affordability. We set out the key questions that needed answering before such a policy could be delivered. If I may say so, this Minister is being very cavalier in sweeping aside the findings of our report, which were well-measured, cross-party and unanimous.
