Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Housing.

Housing

My Lords, does not this initiative give us the opportunity of dealing with the scandal of the abuse of affordable housing targets, particularly in London? Now that the GLA Bill is nearly through, will my noble friend reconsider my proposal in Committee on the GLA Bill, which was based on detailed research of this abuse in London, for footage percentage, and not unit percentage, calculations to be used in affordable housing decisions in London, because we are simply not getting the number of units that we need?
