Proceeding contribution from Lord Gove (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 December 2006. It occurred during Estimates day on Affordable Housing.


Affordable Housing

The hon. Gentleman has been admirably clear about the increased housing supply that he would like, but how will it be paid for? Will it be funded by increased Housing Corporation grant, or by developer contribution, because, as the hon. Member for Milton Keynes, South-West (Dr. Starkey) suggested, suppliers of market housing provide a proportion of social housing? If it is the former, by how much should taxes increase? If it is the latter, how much additional market housing is needed to provide that additional social housing?
