Proceeding contribution from Roberta Blackman-Woods (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 December 2006. It occurred during Estimates day on Affordable Housing.


Affordable Housing

Will the hon. Gentleman accept that the problem of a lack of affordable housing is not necessarily a problem of this Government? The Liberal Democrat-controlled Durham city council in my constituency is delivering only a fraction of the social housing that it should be delivering, because it refuses to apply its local housing policy 12 to get a development contribution from the developers. It is simply not using the means that are available to deliver social housing.
