Homelessness cannot be solved without having more social homes for rent. Is this statutory instrument fair? Is it in the public interest? Does it strike a balance between the needs of the taxpayer not to lose money, and to get a fair price for a property, and the wishes of the tenant? I think it is fair and I have concluded that it strikes the right balance. I find it very puzzling that the Conservative Opposition in this Chamber can now happily say that it is right knowingly to sell off social housing when, in the period of their Government from 2015, they did not replace social housing adequately.
