Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Matthew Pennycook and Ian Roome

Monday 20th January 2025 Commons Chamber

[Matthew Pennycook]

I would advise him to ask the developers whether they have taken advantage of that service. We want to learn lessons from the data that comes out of it to see whether we need to take further steps. We think that the matching service will allow registered providers and developers trying to offload section 106 units to come together to see if agreements can be reached.
