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.

My hon. Friend raises an important point. My local authority is set to have to sell 700 homes over the next few years. It is building homes as fast as it can for people to buy and it is certainly not against starter homes, but in London this is a pipe dream for many. Does she not agree that we need to get the Government to address particular issues in high-cost areas such as mine that are forcing everybody out of ownership and out of having any realistic prospect of living there, even if they are on a pretty good income?
