Proceeding contribution from Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Housing Waiting Lists.

Gentleman think that there may be a connection between the scenario that he paints and the right to buy, coupled, most importantly, with the failure of successive Governments over the past 25 years to undertake a council house building programme, such as that which the two main parties rightly undertook—they can be proud of having done so—in the 1940s, '50s, '60s and '70s?
