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


Affordable Housing

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving the example of South Shropshire district council, which is in my constituency, and on which I have the great pleasure of continuing to serve as a local councillor. Regrettably, however, its policy is not the uniform and unqualified success that he would like to portray. I should like to highlight two issues. First, several developers are keen to apply for developments in the district but have been deterred by the significant affordable housing requirement—they cannot make the figures stack up.
