Affordable Homes Programme

Proceeding contribution from Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 April 2023. It occurred during Debate on Affordable Homes Programme.

I thank my hon. Friend for that very valid point. It is one that many of us have been making for years. Definitions are incredibly important. What is affordable to one person is unaffordable to another. That is why a laser-like focus, on social housing in particular, is incredibly important; many people cannot afford to get into the private rented sector, let alone buy their own home. I fully agree with my hon. Friend.

The Government must act urgently. If they cannot, perhaps they should step aside for those of us who want to, and can, deliver the transformative changes needed to guarantee that home ownership once again becomes a reality for all generations.
