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


Housing

I cannot comment on the detail of the regional spatial strategy at this stage of the process. We need additional house building in the north and the south. The approach taken in the previous regional planning guidance and the previous restrictions that were in place contributed to the lack of affordability across the north. We have to make sure that that does not happen again.
