Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Housing Waiting Lists.
Housing Waiting Lists
The Minister knows that I welcome her commitment to improving greatly the Labour party's record in delivering affordable homes, and she is right to say that the construction industry has suffered terribly. Has she been able to make any progress in her discussions with the housing association sector to see whether it can spend the money that it wants to spend to do the work that it wants to do to bring people into jobs to build or finish the homes for which planning is agreed but which are not yet completed?
