Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 November 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pre-Budget Report.


Pre-Budget Report

Yes, I can give that undertaking. It is important that we recognise that the housing industry has been going through a difficult time. It is in all our interests that we maintain the supply of housing. The measures that I have announced today bring forward the amount of spending in the housing industry. We have made it clear to the Scottish Executive that if they wish to re-profile their spending, we would be very happy to talk to them. We have made that clear for several weeks now. If they want to do something similar, we will do our best to accommodate that.
