Debate between Lord Cryer and David Gauke

Tuesday 17th January 2017 Commons Chamber

[John Cryer (Leyton and Wanstead) (Lab)]

Given the Chief Secretary’s earlier comments about attempts to stimulate house building, can he guarantee that at the end of this Parliament the supply of rented homes will be larger than it was at the beginning?

[Mr Gauke]

We are likely to build more affordable homes in this Parliament than have been built since the 1970s.
