Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.

Finance Bill

Unfortunately, I do not have with me the quotes to demonstrate that the Government have been trying to raise the number of new homes built, year by year—and indeed we have been succeeding. Over time, we aim to make more of those homes zero-carbon, through stamp duty relief. That has been difficult to do because of the continuing opposition of Conservative Front-Benchers and Conservative councils across the country. It is that political opposition to new house building that is holding back the productivity of our economy, and making life much more difficult for hard-working families.
