Affordable Housing

Baroness Bakewell of Hardington Mandeville Excerpts

Monday 7th March 2016 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

My Lords, I am not sure what the question was, but I think it was around affordability in different parts of the country. The noble Lord is not wrong at all: you could fit my flat in London into my front room up in Manchester. That is the whole point: the Government are absolutely determined to build more homes of different types of tenure for people.

[Baroness Bakewell of Hardington Mandeville (LD)]

My Lords, will the Minister tell the House how many people are in need of affordable homes—or products, as she is now branding them—and whether these are for rent or to buy?
