Conservative — Herne Bay and Sandwich

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 December 2024

Debate

Social Housing Supply

Contribution

Given that the Secretary of State’s avowed goal is to create more social housing, can she explain to the House why Labour-controlled Thanet district council is seeking to build a large housing estate on the outskirts of Birchington-on-Sea, on prime agricultural land? There is little demand for those houses, and little provision of social housing. Can she have a word with the leader of Thanet council?
