Housing: Affordable Housing
Debate between Baroness Stowell of Beeston and Lord Glentoran
Baroness Stowell of Beeston
Affordable housing is housing that attracts some financial support from both public and private sectors so that it is available at a rent below the market rate.
Lord Glentoran (Con)
My Lords, I declare an interest as working in the construction industry. What are Her Majesty’s Government doing to improve the quality of new homes?
Baroness Stowell of Beeston
I would like to think that we are doing quite a bit. As I said to my noble friend who asked the first supplementary question, I have very little information with me today on building regulations but certainly the new homes that I have seen being built are of a good standard.
