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 am grateful for that. The approach reflects the way in which the hon. Gentleman worked in Committee. He was sensible and reasonable and I pay tribute to him for that. I have made the Government's position clear on the important group of amendments that we are considering. On the key central elements of the amendments, I hope that I have reiterated my view and the Government's policy that council housing, especially new build, is essential to help address genuine housing needs.
