Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 December 2006. It occurred during Estimates day on Affordable Housing.

Affordable Housing

Cambridge city council set a 50 per cent. affordability target, but it was not backed by the inspector, so it fell to 40 per cent. The inspector said that the system is constrained by national policy. Contrary to what the hon. Member for Islington, South and Finsbury (Emily Thornberry) said, the problem is rarely local policy, but the national policy framework. I hope that the Minister will deal with that point in her speech.
