Proceeding contribution from Gerald Howarth (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Housing.


Housing

The Minister said:"““I can announce that the Ministry of Defence has agreed to bring forward six sites with the potential for 7,000 homes””" including in Aldershot. Is this, perchance, the same scheme that has been up and running for the past three years—Project Connaught—or is it a brand new scheme? In either case, who will decide the mix between affordable and other forms of housing? Thanks to the former Deputy Prime Minister’s garden-grabbing policy, we have a surfeit of apartments and flats, when what we need in Aldershot and Farnborough is more family homes. I would like an assurance from the Minister that we will get them.
