Oral answer to question provided on Tuesday, 27 October 2009 in the House of Commons, by John Healey (Labour), Department for Communities and Local Government.


Topical Questions

Answer

I have said how disappointed I was that Liverpool city council is not taking advantage of the central Government support that we are prepared to give to deal with some of the very serious housing problems in that city. I will continue to do what I can to assist, but it would help if the council started to play its full part and do some of the heavy lifting that it should be doing already.

This is an answer to the Topical question asked on Tuesday, 27 October 2009 by Jane Kennedy (Labour).

Question
Was my right hon. Friend the Housing Minister as angry as I was to learn that, notwithstanding 23,000 people looking for affordable homes in Liverpool, the Liberal Democrats rejected a project for 60 new homes by a housing co-operative on the grounds that there was no such need in the city?
