Budget Resolutions

Proceeding contribution from Wera Hobhouse (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 November 2018. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Resolutions.

Will the Secretary of State acknowledge that if we are really going to address the housing crisis we need to build between 50,000 and 100,000 new social homes for rent, and that this Budget is not delivering on keeping that promise? Will he consider giving councils the first right of refusal on public land and allowing them to purchase it at current use value rather than at the development price?
