Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Housing Waiting Lists.
Housing Waiting Lists
Does the hon. Lady agree that far too few new buildings for council or housing association rent have been developed in the past 10 years or more? One problem is that, in local authority planning, the threshold is too high, so that most small developments, which are the norm in central and inner London, simply have no social element. For several years in my borough, less than 5 per cent. of all new buildings were for social rent.
