Conservative — Weald of Kent

Speaking in the House of Commons on 7 April 2025

Debate

Housing Supply

Contribution

Demand for housing is greatest in London, which is where the economy most needs new homes. Building in London means less pressure on commuting infrastructure and house prices in places like rural Kent, but the housing targets for London have been cut. The Government justify that by saying that London has “the biggest proposed percentage increase against delivery”.—[Official Report, 12 December 2024; Vol. 758, c. 1067.] Why is the right hon. Lady rewarding the London Mayor’s failure to build Britain’s most needed houses with lower targets?
