Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (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, will there not be a one-off opportunity to replenish the supply of rented housing with the selling-off of the land at present owned by health authorities, the Ministry of Defence and local authorities? If all that land were used for building rented housing, there would be a tremendous boost to the supply, perhaps on a one-off basis, which would compensate for all the public sector land sold off in the past to build £300,000 executive houses, as in the case of Orpington and Farnborough Hospitals in my former constituency of Orpington.
