Proceeding contribution from Phyllis Starkey (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 the hon. Gentleman that targets by themselves are pointless. However, in delivering the targets, the measures and priorities of the Government are focused. That must happen as well as just having the targets. I want the hon. Gentleman to focus his mind on the topic of the debate: housing and the credit crunch. Will he explain how giving incentives to local authorities to permit developers to develop on their land would help in the current situation? We are in a credit crunch, which means that developers are not building even though they have planning permission. Will he bend his mind to that problem?
