Proceeding contribution from Mark Pritchard (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 November 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Housing and Regeneration Bill.
Housing and Regeneration Bill
I do not wish to embarrass the right hon. Gentleman as a former Environment Minister, but is it not the case that much of the increased housing numbers he seeks could be found by local authorities doing far more to deal with their voids—with their empty properties—and by their releasing them back into the rented sector? The fact is that some of the worst offenders in terms of not releasing such voids are Labour authorities. [Interruption.] Yes, they are.
