Housing and Planning Bill

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

I am still as confused as I was at the beginning of the debate and at the Select Committee hearings. The Minister has just made an entirely reasonable point. I thoroughly agree that it should be for local authorities to determine the composition of homes to be built as part of section 106 agreements in their areas. How does that square with a policy of giving priority to starter homes and building 200,000 of them irrespective of the consequences for the building of other sorts of housing?
