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

Is not one of the problems of building new housing that people do not seem to want new housing schemes near them? An awful lot of that involves Conservative councils that do not give planning permission for housing schemes. If, for example, 250 Islington families wanted to move into the hon. Gentleman's constituency, would planning permission for social rented housing be given?
