Oral Answers to Questions

Annette Brooke Excerpts

Monday 18th March 2013 Commons Chamber

[Annette Brooke (Mid Dorset and North Poole) (LD)]

22. I was going to stand on the next Question. Will the Minister for Housing consider a mechanism by which the borrowing capacity of an authority that has chosen not to use or is unable to use all its borrowing facilities can be passed to an authority that, in turn, could facilitate arm’s length management organisations to build housing when there is capacity to do so?

[Mr Prisk]

The hon. Lady is slightly ahead of herself. We are considering such issues when we consider the spending review in the round. I will consider her representations carefully.
