Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (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
No, the main sources of money are underspends in Departments over the course of this year. It is absolutely right to reallocate that money so that we are in a position to spend money on housing and jobs. The £5 billion that we are spending on jobs as a whole was announced in the pre-Budget report and the Budget. We have made reallocations to get money into housing over the course of the next few months. That is the right thing to do—to start building now to ensure that there are more houses for people in this country.
