Proceeding contribution from Iain Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 31 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Housing and Regeneration Bill.
Housing and Regeneration Bill
I expected better of the hon. Gentleman, whom I respect a lot. People in social housing had to contend with inadequate, almost slum housing under his party's Government. We have a record to be proud of. Circumstances change, and over the period of a decade, the emphasis should be about improving supply. I utterly agree with that, and that is what this Bill—particularly its creation of the Homes and Communities Agency and self-financing in respect of local authorities—will be able to achieve. I hope that the hon. Gentleman will support us on that.
