Business of the House

Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 February 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
I am afraid that I am not an expert on house prices in Milton Keynes— I know that it is a dereliction of my duty. I accept the criticism, and I will consider my position. What else can I say? It is an abject failure. [Interruption.] Here comes the Opposition Chief Whip. I understand the hon. Gentleman’s concerns about high house prices—for first-time buyers in particular—which we all share. However, we have a done a great deal—rather more than the previous Government—to try to ameliorate the situation.
