Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Housing.


Housing

My hon. Friend makes an important point. His local council is under a responsibility to assess housing need in the area, but it needs to draw together different organisations to ensure that it can respond to that need. We are giving councils greater flexibility to do so, and I hope that they will be able to find partners to join them to rise to that challenge.
