Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

I am sorry—over four years. However, even 150,000 a year is less than what the previous Government achieved. If you go back a couple of years, the number of housing starts was the highest for around 20 years. The Government constantly quote a later figure, which was affected by the financial crisis. However, if you look at the data over the period you will see something else.
