Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Louise Jones and Angela Rayner

Monday 2nd December 2024 Commons Chamber

[Angela Rayner]

The hon. Member has forgotten that his Government failed to meet their housing targets every single time. The Government are committed to building 1.5 million homes over this Parliament. Under the Tories, house building plummeted as they bowed to pressure from their Back Benchers to scrap local housing targets. We are bringing back mandatory housing targets. The Chancellor has put more money into the affordable homes programme, and we will build those homes. The hon. Member does not know my history and how I work.

[Louise Jones (North East Derbyshire) (Lab)]
