Housing: Brownfield Land

Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton Excerpts

Thursday 5th February 2015 Lords Chamber

[Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon]

As my noble friend knows, every local development plan reflects the need for social housing to give the correct mix. That will be reflected in the Ebbsfleet development. I am pleased to say that we are moving forward on that. I hope that legislation before this House will ensure progress in that area.

[Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton (Lab)]

My Lords, did the Government meet the target of replacing all the social housing being sold off with a new housing unit? What are the figures? If the Minister does not have those with him, could he please write to me and put a copy in the Library?

[Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon]

It is always my pleasure to write to the noble Baroness and I will do so.
