Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thomas of Walliswood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Government: Legislative Programme.


Government: Legislative Programme

My Lords, I support the comments of the noble Baroness opposite on the value of this paper’s suggestions about housing. I have a slightly different question. The decline of council housing has resulted in the inability to retain as low-cost housing those houses which have been built for that purpose. The minute somebody moves from a cheaper house to a better one, it goes on the market. Has the noble Baroness or the new Prime Minister, with all his finance experience, given any thought to that matter?
