Social Housing and Building Safety

Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 June 2022. It occurred during Debate on Social Housing and Building Safety.

There are two important questions here. First, will participation by housing associations be voluntary? They are independent organisations, not part of the public sector. Secondly, replacing one for one, like for like, a family home for a family home, is not just about the Treasury making up the discount. Talk to housing associations: the cost of building a replacement is often greater than the market value of the home sold. There is another gap, which the Government have to fill.
