Proceeding contribution from Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Draft Legislative Programme.


Draft Legislative Programme

During the last ten years of the new Labour Government, only 4,000 council houses were built. In the first ten years of the Thatcher Government, 400,000 council houses were built. The Prime Minister was silent on the building of council houses. Why is he hostile towards council houses? How many of the 240,000 new homes a year will be council houses?... I said, ““You could have done both.””
