Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Matt Hancock and Michael Gove

Monday 7th March 2022 Commons Chamber

[Matt Hancock (West Suffolk) (Con)]

Will the Secretary of State confirm that when it comes to local plans the idea that we need exactly the same proportion of extra housing in every part of every council area is wrong, and instead the different needs of different communities, as in my constituency in Haverhill, Brandon and Newmarket, can be treated differently, not with a one-size-fits-all approach?

[Michael Gove]

Yes, 100%, spot-on, totally correct.
