Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Simon Clarke and Guy Opperman

Monday 17th October 2022 Commons Chamber

[Guy Opperman (Hexham) (Con)]

On investment zones, can I urge the Secretary of State to consider mixed-use zones that feature housing and pension fund investments similar to what is seen in the Netherlands?

[Mr Simon Clarke]

I thank my hon. Friend for his question. It is a very perceptive one. We believe that zones can support both housing and jobs. Clearly, in some cases that could be on the same site.
