Social housing did not create migration pressures and it cannot resolve them. What it can do, if properly supported, is provide secure homes to people, based on clear, fair and locally determined criteria. The Liberal Democrats believe in fairness, compassion and evidence-based policy. We believe that housing should bring communities together and should not be used to divide them. We also believe that politicians have a duty to show leadership in this regard and not abrogate responsibility for the consequences these issues provoke. It will be no surprise that we oppose these amendments.
