Housing: Co-operative Housing

Baroness Royall of Blaisdon Excerpts

Monday 25th April 2016 Lords Chamber

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

I do not know quite where it is but it is certainly in Wales. I shall write to the noble Lord giving him precise details of that exercise.

[Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Lab)]

My Lords, I think the Minister might have been referring to some new co-operative homes in Cardiff and Newport. Will the Minister confirm that the Government in London will draw lessons from the experience of the Welsh Government who, through their political leadership, have shown that it is possible to build and promote new co-operative housing schemes? As I say, they are in both Cardiff and Newport.

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

I am grateful to the noble Baroness for putting me right on that. We are looking carefully at the Welsh projects.
