Oral Answers to Questions

Kevin Hollinrake Excerpts

Monday 28th November 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

The hon. Member for Thirsk and Malton (Kevin Hollinrake) must know something about these matters. He is an estate agent. Let us hear from him.

[Kevin Hollinrake (Thirsk and Malton) (Con)]

I tend to spend more time here these days, Mr Speaker.

Does the Secretary of State agree that if we are to create more opportunities for small and medium-sized house builders, we need to allocate more small sites in local plans?

[Sajid Javid]

Yes, I do agree with my hon. Friend. He will be pleased to know that the new accelerated construction fund will ensure that allocations of that kind are more forthcoming, and that the £3 billion home building fund will provide more support for small and medium-sized builders.
