Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Sheila Gilmore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 July 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

Does my hon. Friend share my perplexity about the figure for the amount of homes lost that Government Members have come up with in recent debates on housing? If social homes are lost, they are lost through the right to buy. The Government have decided to increase the size of discounts and further encourage the right to buy, so they will probably lose more social homes than they build. We cannot compare net figures with gross figures.
