Proceeding contribution from John Hayes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 January 2006. It occurred during Parliamentary proceeding on Public Accounts.
Public Accounts
The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right about migration being a key factor in housing demand, and consequently a factor in driving forward house price inflation. Does he agree that, since this Government came to power, public sector house building has roughly halved from its mid-1990s level? In addition, does he agree that a way of satisfying that additional housing demand would be to create a more fluid housing market in which more people owned their own home—as many people in public sector housing want to—which would create space for people currently in temporary accommodation who cannot get on to the public sector housing ladder?
