Proceeding contribution from Mark Field (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 May 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on Social Housing in London.

Social Housing in London

I do not disagree with the hon. Gentleman, but does he also recognise—I see it particularly in my constituency and other inner-London areas—the importance of what has been done by many philanthropists, the most obvious of which is the Peabody Trust, whose house building and flat building programmes have stood the test of time? They remain some of the most exciting and sought-after social housing in many of our constituencies, 120 or 130 years after they were first built.
