Proceeding contribution from Iain Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Housing and Regeneration Bill.


Housing and Regeneration Bill

My hon. Friend has raised an important point. As she will know, we recently announced that £200 million would be given to the Housing Corporation so that it could buy empty homes during the current economic downturn to ensure the continuation of supply and development. I believe that the additional safeguards in the Bill relating to design and accessibility will help to achieve the objectives to which she has referred.
