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


Housing Waiting Lists

Birmingham is relatively unusual in that it has retained council housing and 22 council houses were built last year. However, the council would like to build a lot more. What the Minister is saying implies that council housing is a second-best option to registered social landlords. Perhaps it should be seen as a positive option, particularly in the light of the credit crunch.
