Proceeding contribution from Baroness Teather (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 July 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Housing and the Credit Crunch.


Housing and the Credit Crunch

I was listening to the hon. Lady's speech and I was enjoying it enormously until she got to the party political points, so I thought that I had better return the favour. Does the hon. Lady not believe that the Government need to do a great more to enable councils to build more affordable housing for rent? I am sure that that is a point that we firmly agree on. For example, it is a shame that it has taken the Government 12 years to agree to dismantle the housing revenue account.
