Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (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 was waiting in expectation for a commitment to fund social housing. Apart from the incentive for local communities, I did not hear one. Is there a commitment on the number of social houses that will be funded? Despite the hon. Gentleman's lack of love for top-down targets, a future Government would presumably have a target. What will happen if these bottom-up local initiatives do not produce the number of houses that are needed by people in this country?
