Business of the House

May we have a debate on housing provision for the disabled? Last week, I opened an excellent house that had been retrofitted by the charity Aspire. Two important points were made to me at the time. First, there is a shortfall of 300,000 homes for the disabled in the UK at the moment. Secondly, most of the expensive cost of retrofitting could be avoided if only developers were more mindful of the disabled when designing houses.
