Proceeding contribution from Barry Gardiner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 29 June 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Building Britain's Future.

Building Britain's Future

Does the Prime Minister agree that the statement today on increased housing will be welcomed by the lady who came to my surgery and informed me that she had been told when she went on to the housing list that she would not get a house because she had no children? That lady was recently told that she would no longer qualify for a house because her children had now left home, even though in the 20-year intervening period she had been unable to get accommodation. Does the Prime Minister therefore also agree that there must be a reprioritisation of housing need so that it is based on length of wait?
