Proceeding contribution from Emily Thornberry (Labour) 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 agree with my right hon. Friend. My only concern is that sometimes his remarks might be misunderstood, and it could be thought that the two of us are at opposite purposes. I entirely agree that we need to have mixed communities. Within a constituency such as mine, there are streets containing people from all sorts of backgrounds, and small estates next door to the Lord Chancellor's residence. We are a very mixed community, but we do not have enough social rented housing.
