Finance Bill

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

I am grateful to my right hon. Friend for giving way once again. Will he congratulate my local Labour authority, Hyndburn borough council, which has private institutional investors? The council has got a pension company to invest in private lets to the tune of £14 million and is using that capital to regenerate and provide affordable housing for rent for people who need it. Does he not agree that there should be more such schemes in the UK? That flagship programme has appeared on many television programmes and I am proud to say that a Labour authority is doing it.
