Housing: Long-term Plan

Proceeding contribution from Julian Knight (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 February 2016. It occurred during Opposition day on Housing: Long-term Plan.

I completely agree. It is ridiculous politics for people on the housing ladder to seek to pull it up and not allow others on. That is terribly two-faced, and entirely wrong.

Help to Buy is a fantastic innovation and is a good measure for an emergency. Our housing industry was dying, which is why we introduced it. The Government should be commended on continuing with that policy. Social mobility is aided by the measure, but this is not a demand issue. It is a problem of supply.
